I think Yamaha are pretty underrated in general when it comes to guitars and basses. When I worked in a music shop I used to recommend nothing else for beginners. Can't beat the quality for the price, and that's on the dirt cheap stuff. I can only imagine how good the more expensive gear is.

Not that I've got any money to buy anything at the moment, but I've struggled to find a decent choice of basses for 1984. I think they skipped a year.

I borrowed a Bass Collection bass for one of my first gigs and I've wanted one, or at least to check more of them out, ever since. I wish I could remember what it was though, as it didn't seem like a direct copy of anything in particular. After a quick search I can't even find a website for them. Anyway, the bass felt really light and sounded great. Although that was before I'd tried a lot of different guitars, so I may have different opinions of it now.

Wow... I know this is an old thread, but I only just stumbled across the Studybass site and searched for it on here which led me to reading through the whole thing. Blown away by some of the content I've seen this afternoon, and used up a whole lot of work time that I'd probably get in trouble for! O_o Anyway, made a lot of notes and can't wait to work on them when I get home. Cheers guys.

Just bought a MIJ Boss BF-2 off Gareth. He's incredibly trusting and trustworthy, and the pedal arrived incredibly fast and well packaged. Couldn't think of a negative point about the transaction if I tried.

I'm far from GAS free. I need to sell my Yammy, fix up and sell my Ashdown 2x10 combo, fix a Sessionette combo I found on eBay, buy another amp for small gigs, and that's well before I look at all the unnecessary things that take my fancy. It's actually stressing me out a bit.

I nabbed the Boss synth pedal off Trev and the whole transaction couldn't have been much smoother. Top condition, great comms and a pleasure to deal with. Bish bosh bash, job done. Cheers again Mr B.

Along with one other, not bass related, this is the only forum that I've stayed a part of for any number of years. I haven't ever even felt the need to look elsewhere and it's because of things like this. I've never been to a meet or anything, but the general feel of this place is great and incredibly welcoming. Keep it up gents and ladies, hehe.

Echoing everyone else's comments really. Top guy, easy to deal with and securely packaged goods. I'm now part of the Sonic Blue Ryder club. Shame he didn't take my BB414 off me, but hey, you can't have everything.

I like that a lot more than I thought I would if someone just described it to me. ...A lot more!

I assume that we're all looking to change that and it wouldn't take much to take a cursory glance a few inches down after thinking "I wonder if they're on BC..." when watching a bassist on stage.

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1189202' date='Apr 5 2011, 04:13 PM']I think the fact that you guys have talked about it already is encouraging. Stick with it. It's even worse to look back and think "I wish I'd tried harder". Truckstop[/quote] High five for saying what I was essentially saying, only in two lines instead of EIGHT MILLION. Ramble ramble ramble.
