gobasserk Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Yes it's like your pic. It was black with a lot of scratches, I took of the paint and staint it in a dark brown see through colour. I have it in an corner for many years now. And this is my main bass. Not very eye-catchy, but on any recording I do. I always bring several basses but the cheapo gets the job!

gobasserk Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I was using Trace Elliot before. But the 410 cabs are so heavy 🙂 Last year Mark Gooday was so kind to offer me a good deal 🙂 1 Quote
gobasserk Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 And the 1000ma had to go through many optical changes over the years.. 🙂 Quote

Currently 4, to soon be 3 and then back to 4... love that the yardstick of yamaha ownership is measured in units of “Trav” I’m very low on the Trav’ometer, currently owning only one BB Yamaha Edited March 17, 2019 by MoJo Grammar Quote

gobasserk Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 What could the reason for an extra hole be? An active circuit with different potentiometers? Quote
bigsmokebass Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I wouldn't have thought they'd make it active and nothing to gain from one hole. Perhaps a pickup selector and a V/T/Switch configuration. Who knows.... People do crazy things to these basses though 😂🤷🏻♂️ Quote
gobasserk Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I think I did not complete the bass with a neck because of my experience with that orange 414 and te (expensive) Warmouth neck. The beautiful neck just did not fit sound wise with the body,- the org. neck sounded a lot better. Quote
Al Krow Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 @lee650 and I are proud to announce the arrival of our BB twins (by adoption date) and Lee's rapid ascension to half-Trav (and potential simultaneous renunciation of anything made by Fender) and my much more lethargic middle-aged-spread journey to full-Trav status. It should, however, be known that full Trav is still considered a tad usurper. Advanced grade = hookystringbass or (hush now) even a hypercarrot as the ultimate destination for a true BB believer. Normal service may now resume. 2 Quote

Al Krow Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Speaking of cool dark...the black sheep of the Krow Yammy family has arrived I had originally thought I might also get the BB735A refinished in white (and even got a couple of quotes for getting it done). But I'm much less sure about doing that now! Edited March 19, 2019 by Al Krow 5 Quote
