It's got a very glittery finish. can we translate it as TravisBlue? He would like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) We don't have Photoshop at home and the result is not as good as Luke's visions but... This is more or less what my 1000 shall look like. Hardware will be gold then. Doing this in the pic absolutely exeeds my skills 😛 Edited February 23, 2021 by gobasserk 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 was trying to find a clip of a BB1300 and internet led me to this which someone said in a link was a Yamaha BB.... but is it? the top looks carved 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I think it's only fitted with alternative pus (humbuckers) looks like a typical BB shape for me. New pickusp and a Musicman electronics control plate . Better so be seen here..

I looked at that a couple of years back and very nearly bought it when it was up for sale back then for (I think) £800. My 5 string active bass itch is currently totally being dealt with by my Spector EURO LX5 which is simply blowing me away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) That depends on the colour of the bass Al ! But what do you have? Edit: Played a Spector Euro 5 in the Musicstore Cologne last year and I can understand any enthusiasm for this basses. They sound like a dream. Typical American EMG noble bass sound!

gobasserk Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I choose white for my own bass creation but did find gold "too much" back then for it. It recieved black hardware. I love that thing live because it lights up even when you are not in the center of the stage.. That's why I got disenchanted with black basses. That's also the reason why I do a lot of stuff on top of my 1000's... black is not visible on most band live pics .. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yup and apparently he can also confirm he is well happy with his current herd and has advised that there is no particular need to link him to basses that haven't sold to anyone else for a couple of years, but appreciates the well meaning gesture behind this. He seeks to pass on his good wishes to anyone still struggling with the thumb rest string on their own bass and recommends just giving it a bit of time. After all, he feels that if he managed to transition to 5 strings, it shouldn't be beyond the capability of any basic level bass player with a bit of perseverance 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
