But if they haven’t - I can guarantee they’re silent On checking the Seymour Duncan website I notice the Classic stack on page 1 and you are correct sir, they are noiseless. I did like the short clip (with SVT cab sim) and I'm tempted. Do you have them in a Jazz? Or did you just swap the bridge pup out of a BB or another PJ?

They’re in my fretless and fretted passive J’s, fantastic pickups. My bb is a 414 and I don’t mind any single coil noise as the bass sounds Brilliant as it is - also the pickup isn’t a standard shape like the more recent BB’s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Corto14 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Et voilà! New bass = new pics I'm not a good photographer, I did my best to do justice to this wonderful instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Corto14 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I didn’t know the word “shabby”, so thanks for this either @Al Krow 😀 it’s really a great bass, I must say it’s MY type of bass. Very lucky to have one and I recommend to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREA Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 On 20/09/2020 at 12:43, javi_bassist said: So today I tried the DR Pure Blues on my BB735 to replace the Dunlop Super Brights. So far, I prefer the DR B string, but it's hard to defeat the Super brights on the other 4 strings. My search still continues. I will try Daddario NYXL next. I'm also thinking about getting a Super Bright 6 string set to get the 130 gauge. My BB435, that i bought used mint, came with DR Low Riders 045-125. I liked them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javi_bassist Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Today I have sold my BB734a. Great bass, but I didn't feel that good. I bought because I love my BB735 (my main bass and the only one I play lately). I'm not sure why I didn't feel it right, but it had to go. I will save the money to get one of the sexy TRB 1005j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Corto14 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have a trb 5pII and it’s a beast. The fingerboard is butter and the low B is huge. if you can, save a little bit more and try to find an old Japanese trb, imho they are a little bit better than the new series.

They have a great reputation as one of the very best of the Yammy range, although on the heavy side. How much does yours weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Corto14 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I didn’t weigh yet, but I think at least 4,5kg. very balanced though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Corto14 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Speaking of bb, may I ask you which type of string would you recommend? I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the stock ones, D’Addario exl 170, but maybe there are others worth a try. I also considered a set of flatwounds, specifically the chromes. opinions?

javi_bassist Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 After trying some sets, I'm happy now with the 4 string D'Addario XL balance set + the D'Addario XL 135 tapered. I used to use Dunlop Super Bright, but I was not really happy with the low B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Nice rig! What's the amp. I'm not surprised you're loving the BB1025 - mine has outlasted two 425s, a 735A and even a P35! The P35 was definitely a slightly nicer, more refined, bass, but my particular one was unfortunately just a little too heavy for me and also a little too heavy for both the original owner and the person I sold it on to! But all three of us loved the tone and quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
