AndyTravis Posted October 2, 2021 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

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

Expand 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

So I switched offers off. 1 Quote

Guest Posted October 3, 2021 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
AndyTravis Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 Really like the bb1600 in this “gunmetal” finish. But they seem to be a unicorn amongst unicorns… 4 Quote

Ok ok, but vintage white is the best with a black scratchplate. 1 Quote

martfitz Posted October 3, 2021 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
