I'd want to pay £75 below the starting bid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Ah well. Bb300 on the way to Dublin. Happy it’s going to a friend who I’ve recorded for who wanted “the bb sound you get…” And then comes the debate…does the 350 stay. It’s different enough to justify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 10 minutes ago, Reggaebass said: Ah I see, I thought it was accepting offers below the 375 Well saying that, I'm only assuming that's how offers on a auction style listing works. Offers on a 'Buy It Now' listing is to make a lower offer than the asking price. I'd assumed newer feature of offers on an auction style listing is ebays way of making sure they get their cut from auctions that are ended early when someone offers an amount the seller is happy to accept. So presumably the offer has to be higher than the starting bid. Reading that back, maybe I'm overthinking this. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is indeed how it is supposed to work. Although obviously you can offer anything, and if they wanted to accept it they could, but generally it is an offer above the starting price to end it eariy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I switched offers off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJWW Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 11 hours ago, Hacksawbob said: Purists avert your eyes! I found the stock bridge pickup a bit anemic and noisy in the bb350f. The pup route is not standard though as it has rounded ends rather than squared like a Fender. I had an Enwhistle jbxn lying around so I printed a new pup cover for it to adapt to the Yammy rout! I might get closer for the exact holes at some point but this will do for testing. Those are supposed to be excellent pickups, nice job!

I've got a pair of these in a Jazz bass with a series switch. Powerful, punchy, burpy jazz tones individually but seriously huge sounding in series. Great pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 When and why did Yamaha get the idea that more we want to spend on a bass, the less interest we will have in nice colours? Most interesting colour available per model: 424 — Red 1024 — Caramel Brown (sombre trans red) 2024 — White 234 — Raspberry Red 434 — Teal 734 — Translucent Matte Black P34 — Midnight Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok ok, but vintage white is the best with a black scratchplate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martfitz Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 @Al Krow I still have a BB1500A, I got it as a backup for my TRB4 Mk1 as it was the closest thing I could find to it, saying that they are very different, I put some TI flats on it and it sounds awesome. I did a swap for it with my BB2004, in hindsight I’d get another BB2004 or BB2005, I don’t think I appreciated how good they were at the time. My Yamaha’s have seen off far more fashionable and desirable basses, but I guess I just like the way they sound and feel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
