Does anyone here have a Yamaha RBX 774 or 775?
SimBass replied to The Marlin's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='The Marlin' post='679859' date='Dec 10 2009, 06:34 AM']I moaned about the active circuit - as enguaging it made little differece to the tone.[/quote] That's interesting I had a 775 for quite a few years...Really liked it. What do you mean by engaging the active circitry? As far as I was away it was an active only instrument (ie. active circuitry could not be disengaged). There was a "boost" switch...which admitedly didn't make much of a difference but as far as I was aware it was never meant to "engage" the active circuitry, it was just a subtle boost? [url="http://www.yamaha.ca/content/guitar/products/electricbasses/RBX775/specifications.jsp"]Yamaha Canada Spec (only country with spec still online)[/url] So does the mod turn this into an active/passive switch? -

[quote name='farmer61' post='665193' date='Nov 25 2009, 03:23 PM']Made by Trace who are owned by Peavey[/quote] True....the point being that they are not the same amps. The company was dead for a few years...Peavey just bought the brand name and got some of the previous engineers to come and join them.

These are great Combo's I had the 12band eq version (similar age) and it was awesome, I really really loved it...only moved it on due to reducing the weight of my rig. Bump and me for a great sounding Combo! (I think I paid about £450 for mine - but at the time it would have been half the age since it was a while ago so £375 sounds about right to me) The newer versions are made by peavey...I've not heard the newer ones but there are plenty of people who consider the older ones like yours to be far better amps than the new ones.

[quote name='oldslapper' post='657874' date='Nov 18 2009, 10:08 AM']MMMmmmm, nice! If my 5 string Warwick has an outright sale then I'll be v. interested in this.[/quote] Are you interested in a possible trade with money your way? That is a beautiful Warwick and (as you will see in my profile picture) would be a lovely match for my Streamer LX Fretless (which I'm not selling) Actually I'll PM you..I have a couple of questions about your Warwick... -

[quote name='Kev' post='654056' date='Nov 13 2009, 09:40 PM']i should start collecting magazines! Never knew they had such a high resale value. That '92 flea definitely sold??[/quote] Well, I wouldnt collect them for resale. most of them cost £3.75 new and I'm selling at £2 each plus postage, So its not about profit but a lot of the articals in there are still relivant and useful...(plus the collectors side of things but I'm not a "collector") I actually think I sold the Premier Issue well under value (I've seen it go on ebay for £12) Anyway..to the point, sorry '92 flea is currently in the post to some else....sorry.

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='653201' date='Nov 12 2009, 11:25 PM']Aha! Thats a blast from the past! Hi Simeon! This bass belonged to Jon Bamforth and he had three E Basses built (note I'm not a partner in the business any more due to lack of time, just a willing unpaid helper so this is not an advert for E Basses!). Jon still had this bass at that point and wanted the same electronics, hence the upgrade. Jon was very sadly crippled in an horrific motorcycle accident many years ago and this bass is very lightweight as it had to sit on his lap when playing. ATB Nick[/quote] That' the one Nick. I spoke to Jon yesterday to confirm I had the exact right details for the bass, he still has his other two E-Basses (one fretted 6, one fretless 6) along with the rest of his collection of Basses (no where near the size of your collection but substantial non the less.) The fact that it was designed with seated playing in mind makes great for playing in the studio or practicing (note the front jack socket-that won't get in the way of legs) and also the light weight is a dream when playing stood up (especially compared to my other bass, a Warwick Stream 6 String broad neck fretless) I can say that Ian Hancock was a great help and did a great job of the electronics...he even did the job of adding the new 2 space battery compartment for me and wired the bass up for 18v to give extra battery life which I find very useful. *Also forgot to mention that it does come with straplocks If anyone has any questions then let me know.

Ok so I have for sale a truly unique bass. It is a 6 String bass which was made by Alan J. Clay it has a lime body with a gorgeous flamed maple top. It was made in 1996 (as dated by Alan). It was actually a custom mod to a Washburn MB6...but all that remains of the Washburn is the neck. All the electronics were done by Ian Hancock of [url="http://www.freewebs.com/ebasses/"]E-Basses[/url], who I'm sure Nick Smith (doctor_of_the_bass) can tell you about, I believe there is even a video of Nick on the E-Basses Website. I got the bass from my old bass tutor in Peterborough and he tells me that the original Washburn was bought for £500 and with the complete new body and electronics it's worth £800-£1000. I'll be totally honest if has got some scuffs and nicks around the edge to the back of the body but its all superficial and not visible from the front, they're so small they probably aren't even visible in the photo's. It would be a perfect first 6 string or first move into the custom bass world for someone looking for a beautiful and entirely unique one of a kind instrument. Other Spec: 24 Fret, 35" scale. Very Nice 18v active Electronics; Volume, Sweep pickup selector, Sweepable cut/boost (flexible enough to be an on board wah padel if you can get a 3rd hand!) Tone control with link led (goes red for Bass, progressivly Yellow for mid, Green fro Treble) Plus a boost switch for a subtle boost before a solo Anyone is welcome to come and try the bass (I'm in South Lincolnshire) Because of the superficial marks I'm willing to sell it for [s]£500[/s] [b]£450[/b] or Trade for a similar Price Bass (Preferable a 5 String Fretted...but let me know what you have) Any questions, or for more pic's let me know.
