    By all means! I'd leave to hear any responses, keep us all posted 😁👍🏻

    Truer words have never been spoken I've never tried adjusting a dual truss rod but I imagine it's not too hard... I bet the necks never move enough to adjust them. Some good basses out there in the mainstream market, each to their own on brand and model but for me, some of the budget instruments are really turning heads for playability and functionality.

    I appreciate it's good for a travel bass, it does what it's functioned to do if full scale and oversized basses aren't practical in some situations... But ~£700 for something that sounds boxy, intonation issues, no string tension and the hefty price tag. I'd consider an Ashbory or Kala. Also, seen the price of strings? Last time I checked there were ~£45-50

    Been mentioned and I’m not a hater.... but the Rickenbacker Basses are punching above their weight for ‘nothing special’ for £2000+, when you can consider what else is out there for less or equal price... some nice boutique builds out there. Taylor GS Mini.....

    Hey BC’ers! I was in my local store the other day when I got talking to the owner, an authorised Yamaha dealer. Asked about any new basses coming in, and he said he's expecting some "new BB's" in a few weeks and word from the Yamaha Rep of a new Billy Sheehan “with scalloped frets and in the blue colour” I am aware that these features are standard for the AT3 but this isn’t something he’d be stocking, not for £3000 a pop in his little store and I don’t know if they’d actually revamp a BB174 with a new colour and scalloped frets. i just wondered for those out there, in the know, if they have heard anything similar and if so what? Any sources? I’m quite interested to find out more... considering Yamaha have released news of Ampeg Amps “joining” the Yamaha Guitar Group, this wouldn’t shock me for more bass gear coming our way to keep up the sales of both Basses and Amps. BSB

    Being honest, for the little time I've used it (perhaps 3 hours most since Xmas) there's no fan sound/interference as far as I can remember but I'll check it out later to be doubly sure.

    Got myself some M-ears on the way as a backup pair but they're not the same haha! Fingers crossed TJ, a fantastic amp and I'm sure you'll love it!

    Karl's latest victim! Only took him 9 years to finally get me haha. Traded a Fender Mex Geddy Lee Jazz Bass in sunburst and a Gibson SG bass in Fireburst Satin for a Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude LTD 2 (25th anniversary). Initially sorted through Facebook sales page (I missed the advert on here!) but all went extremely well with Karl making a drive to me to trade basses, which was really appreciated and I'd have loved to spend more time with Karl to pick his brains on basses and gear but timing was off this time. Maybe next time Karl All the best for now and enjoy the basses. BSB

    Hi all! I've got this nice little Gibby short scale up for sale, if you're looking to learn and want something deluxe to start on and keep on playing with OR you already play and want something quick and comfortable to play on. This bass is for all players and of all ages. Real earthy, vintage and classic rock tones from its neck pickup and why not add some zing, some brightness and clarity to cut through with the bridge pickup, the lightning to your thunder! The fireburst finish is just so aesthetically pleasing: the 'sunburst' of the 2014 Gibson models and the most sought after finish too! Limited colours and numbers released for the 125th anniversary of Gibson and a special 12th fret inlay to credit this celebration. Overall condition is great, considering the satin finish is easily worn in and wears so easily, I can’t appear to find any marks. Same goes for the hardcase too. Gibson site specs: >>>Click Here <<< Price: £575 sale or £600 trade value Paypal, bank transfer and cash on collection accepted. Item is located in Eastham, Wirral, Cheshire. Trades accepted but with cash my way. Price non negotiable Next day delivery included. BigSmokeBass
