if I sold my yamaha bbne1 5er.what could I replace it with?

[jassbass]

Im just not sure what id want to replace it ,if I sold it.
Any thoughts?
Thanx

[CamdenRob]

Get one of these;

[jassbass]

Lol yeah

[uncle psychosis]

Well, the obvious question is: why do you want to sell it?

[dannybuoy]

Indeed. Is there something you don't like about it and you want something totally different, or do you just fancy a bit of a change and want something very similar? Without anything else to go on you'll just get lots of random suggestions like CamdenRob's!

[Horizontalste]

I reckon you'd replace it with an instant sense of dread & regret as you watch it driving off with someone else.

[jassbass]

Just change really.maybe a bit more attack sounding 5 string.i fancy a g&l 2500 usa or a carvin sb5000.

[Ghost_Bass]

More attack? Humm... perhaps a Smith or a MM Bongo.

[jassbass]

I wish.both out of my price range

[Horizontalste]

Ray 35 or a USA sub5?

[jassbass]

Ive had 2 ray35's wasnt for me

[jassbass]

I wonder what the g&l 2500 tributes are like?

[Horizontalste]

How about keeping it Yamaha & trying a BB?
The 1024/5 & 2024/5 are amazingly good.

[jassbass]

Maybe yeah.havnt seen any used ones for sale

My fernandes gravity delux 5 string in black ..he's very sad and he's lonely as no one seems to love him...;()

[discreet]

I reckon a nice Spector Rebop 5 DLX would suit you...

[jassbass]

Ha ha.they are good

[NotAsGoodAsJaco]

Hey man. Just got one of these BBNE1 basses and they sound pretty good to me. I was wondering if you could give me a quick rundown on how the internal EQ works and if not where to get a pdf/manual from? Cheers

[Delberthot]

I don't have any experience of them but would the controls not be the same as the NE1 pedal with volume and blend?

[LukewarmWater]

Bit of a copy and paste job from my comment in another thread but:

The bass and treble are regular boost/cut, but the mid control has 3 positions: position 1 is off, position 2 is a mid-cut and position 3 is either a mid-boost (how I use it) or a different mid-cut. I *think* that this model bass pre-dates the NE1 EQ box so that's why the controls are a little different.

When you take the control plate off what you'll find are 4 little plastic wheels attached to the circuit board. They are in 2 pairs and control the mid-cut amount and mid-frequency for position 2, the other pair are for the mid-boost/cut and mid-frequency for position 3.

Someone in a guitar shop once told me that the idea behind it was that you can set 2 favourite tones (e.g. a scoop for slap and a boost for rockier stuff) and then flick easily between them. I must admit that I mainly play rock/metal stuff on mine so I tend to leave it on position 3 with the max mid-boost in an attempt to cut through against cranked Marshalls and Boogies.
