thedontcarebear Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Anyone got one? What are they like? Is the neck jazz like? And where abouts are they made? Quote
Guest MoJo Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I have a BB1500A, the active version. At the nut, the neck is somewhere between a Precision and a Jazz. It has quite a deep section giving it quite a chunky but not uncomfortable feel. It is a real tone monster and has turned many a head at a gig as soon as I've struck up. If I had the chance to buy another, I would in a heartbeat. Made in Taiwan Edited February 4, 2009 by bassman2790 Quote
thedontcarebear Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 Cheers for the info, how much do you think one is worth? Quote
GreeneKing Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Yep I've got one that absolutely mint - same colour. Growls like a good un, great jazz tone from the bridge pup Peter Quote
thedontcarebear Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 I ordered a natural one, should be here early next week I'd say, if I don't get on with it, it could be up on here by the end of the week, haha. Quote
Guest MoJo Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Check out what others say [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/Yamaha/BB1500/10/1"]here on Harmony Central[/url] . If you're looking for an active jazz type bass, this is the one Quote
agoulding Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 how can u pick one of these up for these days? always wanted the active one! Quote
thedontcarebear Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 My one of these is at home apparantly, which is pretty lucky as they sent it to the billing address instead of the delivery address, my housemate just happened to be home ill though to sign for it. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 It's pretty cool sounding, not bad to play either considering the action is very high at the moment, just need to give it a bit of a setup. Good condition too, only buckle rash on the back, and most of it is too minor to even feel when you touch it. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 No batteries for my camera, and my housemate is occupied so can't borrow his, this is from my phone! Quote
GreeneKing Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Nice one! I've just put mine away. I've had 9 basses of mine in my front room this evening, Homers 2 and Russ's loverly Overwater. Lots of bass Quote

They're pretty hard to come by otherwise Quote

thedontcarebear Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 Set mine up with lighter strings now, and is playing nice, would be cool to try it at a practice to see what its like, but my band hasn't had one for about a month! Quote
funkle Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 If anyone's selling, I'm looking for one of these...esp in natural... Quote
