Old Horse Murphy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That's really very nice. I think Yamaha missed a trick there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a white one - a little brighter for some weird reason than the ones with the surround on the P. shame about that thumb rest 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) That was my thoughts re the thumb rest too. Good price though I have just spent around 3 months tinkering with my BB714 to get the action right. Initially thought there was a bow in the neck but there is more than enough movement in the truss rod to rectify that aspect so, put a shim across the two screws closest the neck pocket heel to change the geometry and have to add, worked a treat after all the tinkering was done.

Either adding a little more bite to the P pickup, or thickening up the PJ sound would be a result. But tbh, I am expecting to want to go back to the GHSs afterwards. The Roto Bass are a tiny bit stiffer than the Boomers, especially the E. They make a much thicker and more narrow sound than the Boomers. So they do help fatten up the PJ sound. It's easier to play cleanly with them, but harder to play expressively. I'll be going back to the Boomers, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just seen this BB on the Facebook group and I went a little weak at the knees, gorgeous. It used to be a 1000s. https://www.facebook.com/groups/219406111488370/permalink/5026087770820156/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 BBPH for sale on facebook in Brighton if anyone's looking. Nice woodgrain on front and back. Bit pricey but that's probably the way they're heading. Not mine BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javi_bassist Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 A little update on my BB605 with Delano pickups and preamp: It sounds good. Much better IMO than with the stock pickups. The stock pickups were a little bit mid-focused, I felt them a little bit more compressed. The Delanos have more range. Much better low-end. They sound really cool. However, I wanted my BB605 to be like a modern jazz. And it is. But it doesn't sound like a jazz. It is completely different. I love it, since it is also really comfortable and has an impressive 5. The preamp is really transparent and has a lot of options. It is a much better bass now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but his technique has put me off dealing with him. Pick a price pal and stick with it. His BBPH was £1500 reduced to £1350 when I saw it. A day later it was reduced to £1100. A couple of days later it's back up to £1500. I was interested in his Eastwood Hooky 6 which was at £600 down from original listing price of £900, now it's £850. I can't comment on actually dealing with him as I haven't, but by all accounts it's not easy. He's got some great kit though, just a bizarre way of advertising. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them - I love the feel - absolutely perfect compliance and smoothness. They last me about 4/5 rehearsals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
