    Yamaha BB P35 vs 2025x

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Just returned a P35 back to bass direct. Great bass, but not for me - I'm a huge fan of my 2025 and wanted to see how the P35 would compare. 

     

    No faults at all with the bass. Plays great and sounds decent enough. However, it was too different from my 2025 (I know, its a different instrument so differences are expected). 

     

    Differences:

    -Neck on the P35 is flatter in profile and thinner front to back. 

    -Bridge pickup doesnt have as much "bark" on the P35. 

    -The pickup volumes are pretty evenly matched on the BB2025. On the P35, the P is way louder and having both PJ full is quieter than the P alone. The J is not as loud. 

    -The overall tone of the BB2025 is "thicker" than the P35 in my opinion. P35 is brighter and probably has a more modern sound. 

     

    Didn't get a chance to use it live unfortunately. 

     

    Hadnt used my BB2025x for years and was blown away by how solid it sounded at 2 different gigs last weekend. Complements from our very discerning sound guy too.

    Maruszczyk Elwood 5 L - 3.5kg! ***£1100**

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by doc40hz

    Fantastic condition Elwood 5 that was built for bass direct from which I purchased it. I was so impressed I got one built To my specs and this has been largely unused since. 
     
    chambered body and lightweight hardware- it’s my lightest bass by far. 

     

    I'm certain this is the bass in this video; It's the only one with these specs in the video section of the Maruszczyk youtube channel.

    So how many great tribute bands are you actually in?

    Just the three The Boyz, Mr Pink (Level 42) and Scream for Me (Iron Maiden). Plus my wedding band, Danger Zone. 

     

    To be honest, it's floored me running three bands this year. Taken a lot of time and money to get them up and running with not much success, despite us being decent! I don't know the right people to get gigs and I'm hiring venues and promoting the gigs myself. The Boyz is doing reasonably well though.

    Outboard preamp to get 'active' Mark King type tones?

    I really like that very active type guitar tone that people like Mark King get.

     

    I'm wanting to achieve that sort of tone. I basically just noodle around at home, occasionally recording, so I'm hoping to get somewhere without spending megabucks. My current bass is self built with Delano pickups and a J Retro 01 preamp.

     

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

     

    For reference, this kind of sound is what I am after:

     

    Looking at old photos of MK with trace Elliot gear, this is his EQ curve. Basically a bit if a notch out if 700-1k and 10db treble boost and about 7db 60-340hz. 


    I think live he favoured the bridge pick-up of his Jaydee - probably because there was sequenced bass. I think he maxed out the bass and treble on his bass preamp and almost fully cut the mids. 
     

    Aguilar OBP3 with the mids set at 800hz to cut would be a good on board preamp to kind of get in the ball park I think.
