fluffo Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) I am toying with the idea of letting my Yamaha ltd II go, There is so much about it I love but at the same time there are niggles that put me off. If you want an out and out huge rock sound this is the one, but if the next song in your set is an old funky tune from the 70's it aint there with out a lot of adjusting and with such a complex Eq system, I just can't get away from a jazz or something with a music man style pickup at the back. The bass has a few knocks, chips ect but nothing that effects it's playability or stability Up for 4 or 5 string trades, i am south east london/kent. The Eq on these is as follows, knob closest to jacks p pickup volume the next is neck eq cut/boost then neck volume, at the moment i have wired the neck eq pot so it is a eq for the p pickup ,I can easy reverse this, it's only one wire. You can also run to 2 amps using one jack per pickup, I have a LMK 2 channel amp and have been using it this way aswell.

andy67 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 That's a shame! The eq is fairly simple though, a volume per pup, tone and coil tap for the model one. The bass is capable of giving p and ebo/3 tones and full on power rock. good luck andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffo Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 I just like the bridge sounds, i know what you mean tho, my other option is to put a humbucker at the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy67 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 billy finds it easier to bend the strings going in and through/up/down the scallops and claim they give tremendous sustain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttitudeCastle Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 is it still wired tone to the Middle pickup? also is it all original wiring? if so about £600 would be good price i mean either way £500 is stunning its just that era of the LTDII were about £1200 or so new and all have lead wiring (all the ones with coloured neck pickup cover! btw if your every gonna sell the pickup cover look my way!) Also may i vouch, really nice guy to deal with her guys so don't even consider that holding you back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks to andy67 for his info earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
