MDWagstaff Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Just seen this posted on Miki Santamaria's Insta stories... Always wanted a BB with a MM style bridge pup. It's a shame there's no sign of a production model. 6 Quote

Cuzzie Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 This is nice http://www.yamahaguitardevelopment.com/node/202 Quote
gobasserk Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Not my gusto. There are enough Fenders around, why should I want the bass to look like one? But one may think different! Quote

But one may think different! Fairy muff - it’s a model that’s been going around 30 years, and I reckon it’s different enough - IMHO one of the top line of Yammy basses Quote
gobasserk Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 That's because I am even older than that bass and a fan of the org. BB - no Attitude comes close to Billy's pink BB 😉 And I know not many will share this opinion ! 1 Quote
gobasserk Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 So now it's ready. Gold speed domes fitted. Put 40-95 strings on it. Great tone I can tell! 2 Quote

It was a bit of test rig for the Attitude bass that followed and one of the reasons I now own a pink bass. Quote

gobasserk Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Well I love the passive tone of the BBs! But within the band the active basses cut through better - for my ears. 1 Quote

But within the band the active basses cut through better - for my ears. The ability to boost the mids is going to be key to cutting through. I have to admit to loving the ability to adjust EQ on my bass on the fly should I need to. On some of my basses eg Ibanez I actually prefer the active bass tone to the "duller" passive setting. Some of my basses are purely active and frankly superb tonally (eg Spector Euro LX). But can't you potentially get the best of both worlds by dealing with the EQ / mid boost on your amp and combining with the more organic tone of a passive bass, which on a Yammy BB is just great, if that's what you prefer?
