My TT5 SL just arrived, and I'm out the door in 30 mins to a gig with a new band, so throwing it straight in. 1st impressions, it's light 😂 like, "this is witchcraft" light. The body is very light, but there is no neck dive and it sits nicely on a strap. The finish is beautiful, I thought it might look a tad boring, but it's great. I think it'll wear nicely too with age. Not plugged it in, but acoustically, it's bright and loud and resonant. I wasn't a huge fan of their strings, so we'll see how they go.Think she's gonna be a slapper. Lastly, their gigbags are still a bit of a token gesture. It's nice, but, come on...

Blimey! What are you feelings on Dingwall basses, then?! Haha.

Actually really surprised the P35 weighs that much! I thought Yamaha had weighed it for me and it came in around 9.6! Maybe they weighed a 735! I'll have to check old emails. It does sit well on the strap, glad you find it comfy. I liked the VVT controls, not for everyone, but I liked the anonymity of it. Granted, I didn't solo either, so the option to favour one slightly more than the other suited me well; and a decrease on one or the other gave some different and great results. Great weight on the Ibanez. You've definitely piqued my interest, I was on their website last night! I do need to check them out. Though, one of the gigs I do, I think the band leader would panic if I turned up with something non Fender looking!

I ran one of these with a Vanderkley 2x12. Can't really say enough about how good it sounded. Beautifully built too! -

Incredible lineup!

Sold Bas my beloved Yamaha BBP35, safe in the knowledge it was going to a good home and a fellow Yamaha lover. The deal was done at a halfway point, the airport! Despite the fact that trains and boats were the chosen forms of transport for the event 😊 Great communications throughout and a genuinely lovely guy. Bas knows his basses and it was a pleasure to chat all things bands and bass for an hour. Thanks for the coffee! I'll get them next time. Deal with confidence here guys 👍🏼

Someone put a deposit down on it a couple of days ago 🤔😉 I'm also in the camp of not loving the Delano/Glock combo ALL the time. IME it needed a certain amp/cab to sound its best. For me, it was all good until I bought a very clean and clear amp & cab, funnily enough a Glock amp. Looking forward to giving the Black Labels a whirl... A 2.9kg 5 string too, for what I need, it's already a winner.
-
This one looks to be SOLD subject to the usual 🙁&🙂 -
Thank you. I've dropped the price on this one to £900. I need to move it on and order its replacement, before the replacement is gone and before it's 8 gigs a week season!
-
Saved me once or twice too!
-
Gotta be one of the coolest looking basses?
-
Yes, you're right, he was keen 😊 the offer extends to any of the Yammy club, really. Would like to A/B it with an older BB. Sadowsky are revered for their necks, but to me, this stands above it for shape and feel.
-
Seems fair to me. Sure you wouldn't rather a special BC deal on a BBP35?! 🙃😁 I mean, you already have two white ones.
-
Price dropped to £900
-
That's REALLY nice! If they did a 5 I'd be all over it.
-
Thanks mate. That's exactly what I'm selling the BB to fund!
-
My BBP35 is up for sale, if anyone is looking 😭 If I could afford to keep it and get something else I would, but early onset OA at the tender age of 32 means I need to get a bass made of helium. Gutted!
-
Price massively reduced, I really need to free up cash, before holiday/Park festival season properly kicks off and I've got to play every day & night! Ah man... This is one of those 'I don't want to sell, but maybe need to' situations. This is my favourite bass I've owned. But, it's looking like I've been dealt early onset OA and need to get the lightest bass available or find another job! I'll double check, but this isn't heavy, it's about 9.5lbs, a shade over IIRC. It's currently the top of the line Yamaha BB, made in Japan. I bought it new from Yamaha London less than a year ago. It was the first in the UK I believe. It's alder/maple, has their newest lightweight hardware in a great satin finish. The bass is actually midnight blue, but tends to look more of a black in photos. It's string with D'Addario EXL170-5, as from the factory. It comes with a really plush hardcase too. It's passive, with VVT controls, but like with early BB's, the range if tones available is fantastic. It has 18mm string spacing, and the nicest neck I've played. I thought I liked a wide chunky neck on a bass, coming from a Sadowsky, but the Yamaha is something special. It's very comfortable and has a beautiful construction and matte feel. As I say, I'm not keen to let it go, but I'm struggling with my back/hips/knees... And this isn't even a heavy bass. Not looking for trades as I'm going to be looking at Sandberg Superlight series. I'm on the Isle of Wight, but Portsmouth/Southampton meet up is possible. Any specific photos/questions, please ask. Condition wise, there are no injuries to report. Neck and headstock remain completely as new, and there are no chips/dings/dents to be seen. The back of the body of the bass has some light swirling from my shirt buttons, but I couldn't pick it up in a photo.

That's a very good looking piece of kit. Great work Ashdown.
-
True! Certainly less healthy/constructive things to spend on. How do you choose which to gig though?! I've just got my Yamaha, so it gets all the attention.
-
Why do people have so many?! Is it a conscious decision, or something that just happened over time?
-
@Al Krow yes, I have the BBP35. Would love to A/B them. I'd really like a 735, but could do with a jazz V too, if I'm going to get a 2nd bass that'd probably be the way. I'd like another Sandberg too, going back to the earlier discussions!
-
That's a great tune for auditioning drummers 😂 I like to go all out fuzz for bass on it!

'accidentally' losing data beats migrating millions of ropey old mp3 I guess.
