Finally found a BBPH... ...so the 734a is now for sale.

I had the passive version back in the mid 80s. It was excellent, sounded great.

That BB sounds fantastic!

I was going to see Adam Ant this Friday... gig postponed due to illness. Fingers crossed for the reschedule and his health.

I remember watching that on The Tube...

Spoken like a true Health and Safety Manager...

In the words of the great philosopher David St. Hubbins... "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever"

Thanks John for building the Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe/Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp for me. Top quality product and service. Cheers

Sorted...Darkglass Tone Capsule + Dimarzio Model J pick ups all tied together by @KiOgon in a jazz bass chrome plate... It's sounding very promising through my practice amp, really looking forward to giving it a blast at rehearsal later this week.

Cool video.

I don't get the colours with Yamaha. You'd think with the number of artists they have using the BB basses in custom colours the penny would drop with the design team.

That's a lovely looking bass! Did you match the house to the bass or the other way around? 😉

Poptone...

That's common practice for manufacturers. Buy from Mr. £619, he'll be grateful for the business and Ashdown will still love you and look after you. I think this is a large part of the process called "The Circle Of Gas" 😁

Interesting thread. I played my first gig last weekend since lockdown. I did plan to just DI straight from a Sansamp I had recently bought and use the stage monitoring but the sound that it produced didn't work for the band or me, I ended up buying another Orange 4Stroke for the gig as that is what I has previously used with this band... which happened to be the right decision. Every thing was spot on during sound check, I could step back and hear my amp or step forward for the fold back, perfect. Unfortunately, the monitors failed as we started to play our first number which was a bit of a nightmare as we use a drum machine but we could just hear enough of the FOH to get away with it, luckily we all had amps on stage and based on this experience we always will. The fold back did come back at various times during our set but it was a mess, the sound levels were all over. Amp on stage always, the DI only would have been a disaster.

I've just picked one of these up and have to say it sounds excellent, I have previously used an EBS Chorus/Flanger, Boss BF3, Zoom multi effects and a Helix FX, the m117r currently beats all of them for smooth, lush flanger sounds... practice night tomorrow for the true test. Any one else running one?

Same with my old Thumb. The neck was remarkable.
