    I recently sold mine - very playable, nice necks, great tonal package but heavy - well over 11LBs. They were selling for over £1k a couple of years ago - £6-700 seems common at the moment (there's one on ebay). If you can manage the weight - buy it.

    I managed to get a 5 album collection for about £10. TBH I haven't really given it a good listen to.

    Yep, I love it when they join in with percussion. I do sometimes have to play a bit louder so they get in time.

    The "crack" is only in the top veneer?? Old antiquist's trick would be to melt some wax/ crayon into the "crack" with a hot iron/ cloth.

    If we're using animal analogies the if you bought this you'd be "the cat that got the cream". I love the colour - unfortunately it has an "F" on the headstock. GLWTS Mr Murphy

    Sunshine??? Nothing but clouds here. White scratchplate of course??

    "Main bass"??? That suggests you don't own enough basses....

    Personally I like a limited palette - I'd go with the larger cream plastic ones.

    Yamaha BB615

    TheGreek replied to Rich's topic in Bass Guitars

    Found this thread after somebody quoted it on Gumtree. I bought a BB615 - great bass tonally with amazing playability. My only issue is the size of the body - I prefer a smaller body - if I could transfer everything into a something like a BC Nanyo I would be a very happy bunny.

    I've owned both these items - can confirm the quality. I can't for the life of me remember who I traded them with...did either used to belong to me?? BTW GLWTS

    Expect he'll be using copious amounts of "go faster chemicals".. Hope he doesn't suffer with RSI - he may well do in 60 hours or so.

    Sublime vocals from Ms Spalding

    IME The hardest band member to find is a decent drummer. If you can find one you're well on your way. Obviously we're not counting good singers without an ego...

    He's a member here??? I didn't know he even played bass!! No Schroeders?
  18. TheGreek
    Totally agree...

    I've always had great service from D'Addario - they were really supportive with donations at The Herts Bass Bashes.

    Bought some Rotos tapewounds (65/75/100/115) a while back - didn't actually open them till yesterday when I put them on my new Yamaha BBG5S. I didn't play the bass till today when I noticed the D/G are the same. Didn't notice when restringing the bass. I've emailed Rotosound asking for a "replacement" G string. Anybody else had a similar experience? In all my time playing I've never encountered this.

    Joined 11 years ago today....I had three basses back then. A 4 string, a 5 string and an acoustic...probably owned 50+ basses since.

    You people have been a bad influence on me...😉😉

      I think you'd have been called The First Ones if this was Babylon 5.

      Same sort of story here Mick, had only owned a few basses til Basschat, now I think I`ve owned them all!

    I can see a theme developing here...

    I'm with the consensus - 2x 12 rather than a 212 - your back will thank you too.

    I must say that fretless looks amazing..

    I'm not sure the BB's are for everybody. I recently bought a BB615 - great tones, etc but I can't get on with the body shape. I much prefer my BBG5S. So much so that I bought a second - they sound amazing with tapewound strings.
