And I daren’t go to his gaff and he’s only up the road. He’s a good looking fella too, so the AT2 might not be the only charm I can’t resist. Hahahaha - just seen this!

Says Yam now, must have fixed it. Looks like a Japanese one by the pickups. Someone added a metal jack plate to allow using an open style socket. Caught my eye as I just had to replace the socket in my BB1100s, it cut out if I used a right-angled plug and looped the cable through the strap. (It had lasted about 30 years though, so I think the switchcraft I fitted will see me out!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an early Taiwanese one too - I had a sunburst 86/87 with the square pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javi_bassist Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I have finally switched the preamp in my BB605 to a Delano. Now, it is passive/active (volume push/pull) and has bass, treble, mids, mid switch to select the frequency, blend and a passive tone. I can only say "wow". I'm still in love with my BB735, but the 605 will be played more often than before. I'm not sure about the pickups. They are not too bad, but this bass may improve a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have fitted with no problems. However, I was sent the one with the bass and treble stacked pot and I couldn't return it. Besides, the preamp came with a push/pull pot for active/passive. Since I am no electronics expert (I can do very simple things) I thought about making the bass active/passive and, since now I had 4 pots instead of 5, I thought about adding a passive tone knob. So I took it to a luthier to do the job. If I didn't have the stacked bass/treble, I could have switched the preamp myself. But it's a much better bass now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Gotta smile, probably been a couple of years since someone listed a white BB NE2 for sale in the UK. And then two get listed within 3 hours of each other 😁 Be very interesting to see if near mint condition justifies the price differential over a slightly more "used"/older example - will sit back and watch with interest!
