My two Yamaha BBG’s.

You know you want to, so just do it..

Thanks for that. Now all my basses look sh*t!

Jings, I love that! How does it play and what tones can you get?

Drat! Pic got rotated somehow!

My trusty bitsa.

Floyd Rose?! Shush, somebody will hear you!!

Aw, I like the cute baby one on the left.

You do realise, mcnach and stingrayPete, that we are talking purest heresy?

Well, I played one of these in Guitar Guitar in Glasgow today. Weighs NOTHING. Super glossy neck plays lovely. Sounds really versatile thanks to (I think) 3 band EQ. I had persuaded myself that Ray necks were too big and wide for me, but I only remembered that afterwards, as I was wandering down Argyle Street wondering how to raise three grand and a bit. Yep.

“Vi take “ is autocorrect for “vintage”, in case you’re wondering.

Wowser, the V-Amp! I had one, which I re-chipped to turn it into the Mk2 version. You could buy Pre-programmed EPROM’s from some manufacturer in the U.K., and do it yourself. What larks! I used the V-Amp live for several years. A lawyer friend of mine, who has so many vi take guitars and boo-teek amplifiers it’s scary, heard a recording I did with it, and wanted to know how I’d gotten such a cool tone! You should have seen his face when I told him. I went over to a Zoom G3, which I still have. I like it for delays and some modulation, in tandem with my B3n. On Gumtree I recently found a Johnson Mirage JT-50 112 combo for thirty quid. Basically a J-Station with an amp. I really dig it! The effects and delays are great. Also it does a very passable Fender Twin style clean, which is the only guitar amp sound I use. The worst thing about it is that it smells like it was kept in a curry house. But, of course, I’m much better now that I’ve come back to playing bass, so please don’t be angry with me.

Yep, very good, grooves like a mutha! Drummer played with AWB, and the guitar player sounds a wee bit Wayne Krantz before he really takes off. Most excellent beat combo.

Wow nice.

I really really want to see that.
