It’s Ella’s first bass! ”dad I want a bass, I want a yamaha, I have £120” Fun fact - I joined Basschat the day she was born. A great first bass. Sure beats the likes of Kay we all seemed to start with. 🙂👍 Edited January 23, 2022 by Maude 4 Quote

Yamaha RBX170 I believe? 260 its P only and doesn’t have those odd little box tuners. quite an upgradeable little thing… Plays great with new d’addario and a tweak - absolutely jealous 😂 2 Quote
Jeffb28451 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 I have to make my B.A. (Bass Anonymous) meeting first, but I’m just going to have one more, then I’ll stop… no, really , I swear. Quote
gapiro Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Someone tell me I really don’t need to put $2000 deposit down on a lakland 55-94 😂😂 been eyeing one up for a while 😂 Quote
gapiro Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Also I should say I’m still in though I have just had to spend money buying a new soldering iron so I can fix my circuitry on the 55-02 I have. (As I used to work in an electronics company i would use work equipment for it ) Quote

That orange flame body and pale neck/headstock are too distinctive. @gapiro really wants a cracked tort pick guard and a mollases-coloured fretboard. He just hasn't realised it yet. Quote
LukeFRC Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 @gapiro - what colour is your 55-02? surely that's almost the same thing in a different colour? Quote

neepheid Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Still in! They have made it easy though, I do miss the dedicated bass department downstairs in Glasgow. Basses squeezed into the corner/end wall again, surrounded on three sides by skinny stringed miniature things shaped a little like basses. Ho hum and bah humbug. 1 Quote

What did they do with downstairs then ? BTW I'm definitely out now. I reasoned that since I ordered the Cali76 CB before new year it didn't count. However, One Fractal Audio sale later and crashed and burned.....again Quote
