hookys6stringbass Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 This is not a BB1200S bass... This is a modified BB1000s bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_g Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 i own a bb1000s and there's one for sale on here i think? There the only one to have that type jazz pickup and i think the bb1200s does'nt have a jazz pickup just the p type. so to cut to the chase this looks like a bb1000s with an active circuit fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samfordia Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Yeah that's right, it's just a P pup. And usually with a matching headstock. I can't make out what it says on the headstock. I assume it must read 1200s if the OP is selling it as that. And if it does then who has tried to make it look like a 1200s? I would like to think it wasn't the OP.

stu_g Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) i think 1200s normally have two strips of wood running through body and headstock Edited August 8, 2015 by stu_g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BB 1200 was produced in sunburst and natural... also they have oval fret markers not dot markers... Dot markers were on the BB1000S. There are two stripes running through the bass not one...again one on the BB1000S... The BB1000S is passive not active with just a volume, tone control and pick up selector...

Truckstop Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think a picture of the headstock would clear it up for anyone thinking of buying this bass. Lovely, btw! Massive fan of classic BB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
