MDWagstaff Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 11 minutes ago, BassApprentice said: I'm pretty sure this was discussed a while back when Yamaha did a live stream. Miki plays in the style of Flea and liked the active Flea signature, Yamaha wanted him to keep playing Yamaha so made him that bass as a one off. Don't see it being a production model. If I remember correctly Pat, the luthier for Yamaha, said there won't be a production version of this bass BUT they do use artist models to inform future decisions so can't rule out ever doing a MM pickup BB.

This got close - had clever switching too. Edited August 19, 2020 by AndyTravis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javi_bassist Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Has any of you guys changed the pickups in the BB735? Today I played a Fender American Jazz Bass and the sound of the Yamaha felt like a little lack of low end and high end. Although overall, I prefer the Yammy, I thought about changing the pickups for Seymour Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I went to "Musicstore" (one of the biggest music shops in Germany) yesterday. Tested a Jazzbass that sounded soooo good !! I just could not let it go..it was a demo model so even cheaper than a new one. I was really happy with the sound.. at night time, I put on my stage stuff and checked what it looked like on me. I was so shocked how silly a Jazz Bass looks with me that after 1000 times of looking and overthinking...I drove to the shop today morning and brought it back 🤣 😥 I think I just found my kind of bass... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Claus Fischer on his BBP35.... fantastic sound !!! Claus is one of Germany's best known bass players. A long time Yamaha BB player. I think he even is the only German artist featured by Yamaha in their artist list for BB's.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaSe4FNuGvM&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR06KOmuBedaZ9DemC7nduLg7DyJFpOceedhLik8IdUpAOXQFgS42NPwLzM Edited August 24, 2020 by gobasserk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
