I've got two BBG's currently, on four and one five string. I had a BB100, my first decent bass. Plus a BBG4 I gave to a family member in a moment of generosity. They are all very good. The BBG's are old and no longer made, and deeply unfashionable, but anyone I play with comments on how good they sound. 

I see new colourful EBMM basses and I think "so what?".

I love every Yamaha product I have owned and used.

Bake That.

Bridge the fx loop with a short cable. Sometimes corrosion in the jack sockets cause semi shorts.

Yamaha BBG4 is 40mm.

Would you post?

I had the Version 1. It was okay I suppose. You could buy an EPROM online for a few quid, that updated it to the V2. That was fun to do.

Bumpity bump.

I can include a John East J-Tone 01 preamp with is bass, if that piques anyone’s interest. 
The preamp is only partly functional, since I managed to snap off the brass stem of the treble control. Since I only used the J-Tone to boost the bass, this was not a problem for me. To be able to use the bridge pickup with a good degree of bass boost was a revelation. If you’re interested, let me know. No increase in price for the inclusion of the preamp.

It is indeed!

Kinda reminds me of the Digitech iStomp. Which I have and like.

Toneriders in my Jazz here. Coupled with a John East J-Retro they are great to my old ears.

I used to have one of these. Fabulous quality piece of kit, absolute bargain at a hundred smackers.

Love mine. GLWTS.

Plug then fill.

Gosh, I want that but I really don't need it. GLWTS.

Alright then, eighty quid to you.

Very clean example of one of these. Original box and PSU. It’s great but I just don’t use it. Any questions, fire away.

Strike me pink.

Have you tried bridging the effects loop in and out sockets with a short patch cable? Very often the contacts are corroded through lack of use, and interrupt signal flow. Worth a try.

Hi. Would you post the head? Thanks.

Is this still available? Ta.
