  1. I’ve had a couple of each. Love both J and P. I would love to have a Jazz, a P with rounds and a P with flats. But for the moment I have 2 Yamaha basses. One older BB5GS and a BB1024X. The BB1024X is a P/J pickup configuration and sounds absolutely great. It’s like a P on steroids with the ability to add some Jazz bass growl.
  2. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1505948123' post='3375498'] I have a CMD 121P and it is fine with a 5 string, so a 151P should be even better! [/quote] Thanks:) Best regards/Daniel
  3. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1505882096' post='3374901'] Hi, I have the CMD151P and have to say it's the best combo by far that I've ever owned. Powerful and focused. Depends where you gig as to whether you'd need a cab. I cannot speak for the JB though but I'd imagine they are quite similar apart from it not having a tweeter and the amp facing forward. Hope that helps from 1 amp point of view.. Tom. [/quote] Thanks a lot. This one is the one I'm most interested in du to its light weight and the fact that it's smaller. Have you played a 5-string with it? If so, How does it handle the low B? I play mostly small to medium venues. One of my main gigs have a really good powerful PA and we have in ears monitors. I was basically thinking of going ampless but I like having a little air coming from behind Best regards/Daniel
  4. I'm thinking of getting a Markbass 15" combo. Has anyone tried both the CMD 151P Jeff Berlin amp and the Mini CMD 151P? What's the difference between the two sound wise? Would both of them be enough for gigging with a 5-string without an extra cab? On bigger gigs I have PA support. Thanks in advance

  6. Here's my two yammies. BB1024X and BBG5S
  7. Hello. I owned it a short period of time and only played it at home. I thought it sounded really great. Cant say anything about gigging with itnor about the reliability though. Best regards/Daniel
  8. I was at 3 musicstores today but none of them had the bass so I couldn't try it out. Seems I have to order it online without the ability to test it first. I also have the opportunity to buy a BB1600 from 1986. Japan made. I know these are good basses. Hard to decide.
  9. Thanks for the answers. I have to try to find a 505 and try it out. Best regards/Daniel
  10. Hello! I am curious about Yamaha TRBX 304/305 and 504/505 series basses. I have owned a Yamaha BB 414 which I liked exept the look of it. I have also owned a TRB5P and a TRB1005j and I didn´t like the sound of those two at all. Are the TRBX sounding more like the BB series or the TRB series? Also, if you own and have gigged a lot with one of the TRBX basses, how do like it? How does it seem to hold up? Thanks for answers. Best regards/Daniel
  11. [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1389899938' post='2339381'] It's a real shame you're having the truss rod issues, it's a lovely looking bass. [/quote] Ahh. Sorry. I was writing it wrong. Truss rod is fixed so theres no problem with the neck. Its me who have trouble with the neck. Its to wide. My english grammar aren't the best.
  12. [quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1389901350' post='2339415'] I meant my 1005 and 1005j. Just made in different countries. My 1005 was from Korea and 1005j is... well, Japan I suppose. [/quote] Ahaa. Okey. Well the 1005j is indonesian I think. Did you think the 1005j was noicy?
  13. [quote name='Jellyfish' timestamp='1389900326' post='2339389'] You can do almost anything with a 4 string, but it's a fact that a 5 string will give you extra notes which is the reason I mainly play 5 string; so I can be as versatile as possible. [/quote] Yeah, its so good to have when you need it. Especially I think for aor music type Toto and such.
  14. [quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1389900586' post='2339392'] They are pretty good and can do any genre if you ask me. I owned 1005 and 5pii both at the same time. Strangely I prefer the 1005. Although not a J but they are pretty much identical. I only sold both of them for a much lighter 5 stringer which my shoulder can't thank me enough. EDIT: I'm not saying that 1005 is heavy but 5pii definitely is. It's because a have a shoulder problem for a long time now. [/quote] Thanks. Do you mean the 1005j and Jazz are identical? In which way is that? Sound or feel?
