Guest Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) The purple looks great, but I would to see it alongside the actual shade of the fretboard, to check they're happy with each other. The green would be even better if it were a slightly deeper, more husky shade. The blue is nice but if it had a tiny bit more grey to it (farrowandballstyle) .... yum Edit: our posts crossed in the mail.

I was actually referring to all the contributors to this 4 year old thread, which seems to be as popular as ever. I guess it's a simple testimony to just what great basses these Yamaha BBs are 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sold for about £130, so not the bargain I'd hoped it would be. I'm sure @Andyjr1515 (or your local luthier) could have removed the fretboard and replaced the offending part before making good. Whether at £130 plus this cost it was cost effective we'll never know. As somebody mentioned, other bargains do come up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to put the neck off my Tobacco Burst BB425X on it and turn it around for a quick profit leaving me time to remove the fretboard of the damaged neck and replace the trussrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) I recorded a quick bass lick with my cell phone in front of my little HD25. YYZ pedal for some smooth distortion. BB1000ma Edited May 1, 2021 by gobasserk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
