AndyTravis Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Might be something to do with the bb1100s which arrived today 🤭 1 Quote
MDWagstaff Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 More developments on the new NE signature, it looks distinctly not BB. I am curious however... 1 Quote
MDWagstaff Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 It's certainly a step away from the last one Quote
Cuzzie Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Put gold hardware on @Al Krow will lap it up, he has dubious taste 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Do they do it in a 4 string, headed...more like a traditional bb...erm... Quote
CameronJ Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Well, @Al Krow, it does feature your “Holy Trinity” of neck-through, 3 band EQ and individual bridge pieces! Get the credit card out! Edited January 24, 2019 by CameronJ Quote
therealting Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Doesn’t look like my thing, but would like to see it played before making my mind up for sure. I didn’t like the BBs until I saw them in playing position. Quote

Be off with you now, young man, to your fizzy dUg pedal realm 😛 Edited January 24, 2019 by Al Krow Quote
Cuzzie Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 What I like and don’t like, you don’t know....! Took your time answersing on here, rearranging the pedal board again, or polishing the gold hardware? Quote

Ok let's test the proposition that "Cuzzie likes Yammy basses" So you have exactly how many Yammy basses currently? The year you last owned a Yammy bass was when? 😛 Edited January 24, 2019 by Al Krow Quote

AndyTravis Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I just think it looks off kilter with one big cutout. Why not 2 like an ultra modern Ampeg Scroll or a nice f-hole? Quote
Cuzzie Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 @Al KrowHeight or irrelevance, I might like a Dacia Duster, do I have to own one? Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 2 1100s’ one 1987, one 1988... not had much chance to compare yet, but weekend is nearly here... 3 Quote
therealting Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Just seen this IG post from Mattisson basses of some mods they did to a couple BBs... pretty tasty! 1 Quote
M@23 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 That new Nathan East model isn't traditionally pretty, is it? Has the flag bass ever been available for purchase? Fair play to the man himself and Yamaha for doing something new and different. Quote

Nice!!! I definately see a custom tort guard and an East uni pre in my yamahas future! Strangely for me, I've not had a desire to muck about with the pickups!! Hmm Nordstrand blades??? Quote

The BBNE2 IS a wonderful instrument; as bassfan knows having tried it out and taken an instant like to it. And obviously you're both clearly not finding the hardware "bling" too off-putting (or I suspect in bassfan's case positively atractive - lol!)[1] I'll have to 'fess to recently turning down a very tempting offer for it recently from another chap who was after one in the same finish in the "items wanted" section: but I kinda worked out that I would have instant seller's regret, particularly as I had waited six months for one in white to turn up. So nope, mine's not going to be up for sale any time soon... What I am still waiting from Yammy is their BB735A with a neck through and individual bridge pieces - a P/J sister of the J/J BBNE2. There would be no hesitation in getting my plastic out for that Yamaha, if you're listening, particularly if you made one in white 😀 [1] But there again some folk are willing to pay extra for their basses to look like beaten up cra*p ("relic'd" I think they're called), so they can pretend to be 'cool', but each to their own eh? 😛 Edited January 26, 2019 by Al Krow Quote
