    Here's a link to the BB3000 specification [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/BB3000_WR.html"]BB3000 specification[/url] on the bassdirect website.

    Now definitely for sale.

    I really think you'll have to get much better photographs taken before anyone even makes you an offer on this. It's impossible to judge the condition with these images!

    Perfect buyer. Tells you he's going to buy - transfers the cash - and that's that! No u-turns, back-flips or bullshit. If only everyone on BC was like Jim!

    Bump for added pictures. Controls are balance,volume,bass,treble and mid boost/cut. The mid control has an off and two on positions. The mid frequency and amount of boost/cut is controlled by potentiometers inside the control cavity. The pickups are noiseless (humbucking).

    Well mine's not going anywhere. I am surprised at the prices these are now going for. I ordered a pair of custom Fiesta Red 62's when these reissues came out (I asked for - and they arrived with - consecutive serial numbers). I'd hate to think what they would be worth now if I'd kept hold of them.

    I've owned the following lightweight amps - GB shuttle 6, EA micro 300, EA iamp500, AI Clarus, GB Neo-Pak, WW Ultra, RH450, MB LMK, SA450, LMII and F500. I'd be happy to have any of them again apart from the EA's. Having said that I spent this morning with an Ibanez P5110 (with the P500H head) and given the head price of £360, and the fact that it apparently has a 5 year warranty, I'd be tempted to go that route. The only thing the head doesn't have is an effects send/return, and if you overdrive the input it can produce a hell of a thud (phase reversal?), but soundwise it's fine. Tried the head through an EA MLine, and it sounds like a mix of a NeoPak and RH450, so no problems there.

    Can't see that one hanging around for long. It has a quarter sawn neck as well - always a good sign.

    That is one nice piece of ash.

    Withdrawn for now...

    [quote name='barend' post='870410' date='Jun 18 2010, 12:15 AM']I thought these basses were only made in the 80's not 6 years ago? I had one in white, nice bass. I still own a BB1000S which is one of the best basses I have. edit: now I see it is Japanese RI of the 80's BB3000. It has different pickups and also different electronics and knob configuration and bridge then the 80's one. So it is a different bass altogether. Didn't know there was a RI. Are those the same pickups as on a BB414? they look the same but considering the price I doubt if they are the same.[/quote] Before writing a comment like that in a for sale thread you really should try and get your facts correct! I have an 1982 BB3000 and it has the same pups/knobs/bridge as this. You may be thinking of the BB3000s, which has similar pups/bridge but V/V/T controls (and a slimmer neck), or possibly the Korean built BB3000 basses which have different pups (at least three different versions)/bridges (at least two variants) and are almost always active (BB3000A, BB3000AF etc). As far as I know the BB3000 never went out of production (the passive version may have), but it was manufactured outside Japan for a while. The Japanese ones have not been marketed outside of Japan for the best part of 20 years, although they could be imported from the likes of Ishibashi. And no - this is not the same pups as the ones in the BB6xx/4xx/7xx

    [quote name='Clarky' post='870335' date='Jun 17 2010, 10:46 PM'](it was an ex-Beedster bass)[/quote] I thought all used Fenders were ex-Beedster or ex-Clarky

    I've an 82 (or it might be 83 - I can't remember off hand) Fullerton '57 reissue. I've been looking for a UK value of these with a view to possibly selling. It's payed all the time so it isn't a collectors piece, but it is in nice condition for a nitro finished guitar (ie some surface crazing but no missing finish). What would be a sensible guide price?

    I took delivery of a selection of webstrings Detroit strings today. I've tried the medium Nickel ones and they'll do fine for me, so the following are for sale: Stainless steel light 40/60/75/95 Stainless steel medium 45/65/80/105 Nickel x-light 35/55/70/90 £10 delivered per set.
  16. BB2000
    Owned from new, and in mint condition. Looking for £450, pics to follow soon.
  17. BB2000
    Have I priced this wrong or is every one just brassic? Have a look at the BB3000 I just listed...

    Black BB3000 with ebony board, and original Yamaha hard case. Bought new in Japan 5/6 years ago and been in storage ever since. Probably isn't the best time to sell but I need to move some basses. Also see the Duck Dunn I have for sale. Looking for £800 ovno.
  19. BB2000
    Unused set of webstrings Detroit Bass Heavy flatwounds (50/70/85/110). I just took delivery of 6 sets of strings from webstrings to try them out - out of the 6 delivered two sets were ones that I didn't order, and this is one of them. £10 delivered.

    [quote name='JackLondon' post='860687' date='Jun 8 2010, 09:17 AM']Before you get me running scared I think it means that the transformer is putting out 120V so the primary should be able to accept any voltage [/quote] No, I think yours is a US import that has been converted to operate at 240V. You should actually check that it has the correct fuse for 240V operation, and not the original (higher current rated) one.
