  1. It appears to be the 734 but with the PH preamp/no jazz pu. It's possible they have a special neck profile but from the description it reads like the 734 matt finish nut width etc
  2. I know who they are I was more enquiring if that’s where he placed his order. But thank you.
  3. I was doing a live stream/fb thing last night and I lost all settings in the update/3.00.0 saga I alluded to earlier. I easily pulled up a factory preset for the B-15 patch (tuck n go), stuck in a parametric eq and had a sound in the time it took the singer to plug in his mic, tune his guitar and calm down from being quite the diva... yes I had about an hour but only needed about 3-4 minutes using the stomp interface. It had been updated to 3.00.0 it’s just my Mac which appears to be baffled atm
  4. It’s no criticism Dave. I don’t own a Yamaha but I’m slabbering away over on that thread😀
  5. I still believe that they (the JMJ) isn’t a massive production and they do them in batches The PHBB will likely be the same one run wait and see how it goes. Most likely a batch each financial quarter
  6. Depends if you’re serious about trying a RP/J or just kicking tyres. There’s options out there which might be a step back in quality as you say but no less worth trying and they can always be shifted on for little ‘net loss’. Honestly grab a cheapie and do some diy and experimentation at home. It’s a lot of fun and with a Ki0g0n wiring loom you don’t even need to be able to solder. A fun way to satisfy curiosity for very little money.
  7. Although not a Bb I have a p bass which allows me to have my p pick up in either the classic Fender sweet spot or a reverse P position. As it’s in the same bass using the same pick I can say up you get a little more fullness in the G and D and a tighter sound on the E and A. It’s not gonna go into jazz bass territory but it’s a nice tweak and on some basses with the right pick up it can just sweeten the bass in a way which eq or preamp can’t quite nail. As an aside It might be too subtle for some but if you can afford a cheapie bass get a local luthier (or even DIY it) to make a route to accommodate reverse p and experiment. A cheap HB bass would be an ideal candidate and it means you could experiment with pick ups and reversing them til your hearts content. Migh nab one of these Hooky BB’s and shift it on down the road. I think the 734 is a better looking model but for the prices these PHBB’s are fetching might be worth a punt!
  8. It could just be the first production run is limited and if there’s demand they’ll do more. Not uncommon practice especially on a sig model. I think the JMJ basses were quite limited initially rather than producing 10,000 units kinda thing.
  9. Thank God I thought it was some sort of U.K. version of a Karen!
  10. Two weddings I’m guessing possibly of band members or close friends of the band😀... and remind me who/what are Cassandras?
  11. I like the colour but overall I’d prefer the black 734
  12. The prices went daft on these in the used market. Well put together basses and likely pulled due to their high quality... ironically!
  13. We’ve three per month for the whole year in one venue so far but it doesn’t mean anything.
  14. If you haven’t lusted after that rig at some point in your bass playing lifetime you’re not really into gear.

    Maybe a rename to Masochist would be another great idea to consider too?
  16. Whoa whoa back up a second there fell! The ultimate pre/power amp rig just casually photographed with a Helix rack. Filth!

    On the right, the distortion channel: gain (triangle wave) to go from subtle overdrive to roaring distortion. Two band bass and treble EQ (shelving curves) Level (triangle) virtual true bypass switch to activate, with the red LED showing it’s on. In the middle, the fuzz channel: fuzz (square wave) to get more and more fuzztastic. Tilt (split scoop shape) left for thunder, right for fizz. Mid boost (hump shape) at zero for maximum muff, or go clockwise for added punch and snarl. Volume (triangle) and stomp as required, lighting the red LED. Finally, on the left, the clean channel: Level (sine wave). Roll off the highs and mids with the tone knob (low pass filter). This footswitch works differently to the other two. If neither fuzz or distortion is on, stomping the clean FS just lights the LED and means that you’ll have this low pass filtered clean sound running in parallel when you click on either dirty sound. If either dirty sound is already on then clicking the clean channel will add the filtered clean to the dirt - or take it away if it was already active.
  18. Two gin channels- always a winner! Yeah my Broadcast was the two channel version.
  19. Yeah I was always a fan of boost pedals. I really like the Hudson Broadcast for that transformer driven boost. Just makes things sound a bit more ‘3-D’

    Hey @alexclaber looks like you’ve had a stinker of a day but you’ve inspired a new thread idea. I was thinking about a thread where people post openly and honestly about times they had a really bad day and said/did something which in hindsight appears a bit misguided. I dunno maybe you slapped the missus, slept with a work colleague or built a bass effect pedal and didn’t put words on it? Going by some posts on this thread there appears to be loads of folk who love to have their say and I’m confident they’ll all get the ball rolling with some proper cathartic sharing, no holes barred so we can endow some righteous outrage/judgement at their antics! I’ve got a few great symbols lined up to reply to the ones I really like! ❤️ 🐀 🔔🔚 🎽aka👰🥊
