@gobasserk sounds great! I do really enjoy your noodlings! If you fancy recording that clip without the Tech 21 YYZ pedal for comparison - it would be good hear how much of the sound is the Yammy and how much the pedal?
-
A "basic" query from me which I hope one of you guys ( @Paulhauser, @Eldon Tyrell, @Mastodon2?) can easily sort! With the Spector stock bridge, what screw head / allen key are you using to adjust the bridge piece heights? I've tried take as visible a pic of the thread head as possible, in case this of interest to anyone else:

Some VERY good news at last - live music back by the Spring?

Impressive range your vocalist has - not sure how many blokes would be able to tackle that top note! -

Hope you both have a great night back in harness gents! Look forward to hearing how it all went, tomorrow! -
And she wonders why you haven't married Yamaha?! 😄 😄

I did have a look at that recently and perhaps the most "liked" post ever (or getting on for it)? But already desperately out of date... Now if you can't keep your own posts up to date, what chance have the rest of us?! 😁
-
Hehe - it's not physically poss to keep up witj your immense BB flow! I think my caveat wording has it generally covered (no?) and we can do an annual update on 1 Jan each year going forward, just for you. 😁

Congrats! White is the best colour. Orange is simply the new black. Wall of shame updated on the OP - if you want to let me know what your prev BBs were I can update for that too. General caveat wording now put against Andy T's entries 😁
-
0% IPA shouldn't impact creativity in any way though, so let's put that one down to your natural talent 😁
-
Nice camera angle, Andy!

Tbf as a purely passive bass, I thought the P35 just edged it over the 1025, but the P35 being a 1lb heavier was the deciding factor in me moving that on and holding onto my 1025. And that was actually the exact same reason for the chap selling the P35 to me and the chap who bought it from me - both very experienced BC'ers and both of whom also really rated the quality of the P35 very highly (comments along the lines of "best bass I've played"). I think there's a P34 in the FS right now on for a very good price, and the P34 should also be a little lighter than the P35:
-
You'll have seen from my post earlier, that my 1025 has outlasted two 425s, two 735As a P35 and an NE2. Can't really give it much higher praise or a bigger recommendation than that!
-
Did you ever try a 1024? Key difference for me sound wise between the two is the harmonically richer / less "flat" pups on the 1024 vs the 424 - but they seem to get preferred in equal measure by different Yammy owners so "better" is definitely in the ear of the beholder.
-
Yup, completely agree. I guess the key point for me is the broader "tool kit" that the Yammy PJ format offers over a pure P bass. I find I'm using the solo bridge J quite a lot these days and really appreciate having that as an additional option.
-
The bridge pup on my 1025 is definitely noisier than the P pup at the neck which is pretty much silent. But it's only ever been really noticeable if I'm standing close up to my rig. The flip side is that the bridge pup does have an "edge" from the additional harmonic complexity of the string vibrations closer to the bridge, which allows it to cut through in the mix really well, particularly on the very low notes on the low B strings.
-
Ah, mine are as snug as a bug in a rug! (And tbh I'm very happy with them).
-
I did think about white knobs. But the black work also well with the fretboard and pups, and it's a faff to remove and replace the knobs (unless your Andy T, in which case it's a doddle!). Don't you need a special tool to extract your knobs? (Ooh er... missus!) 😁
-
BB 1025 - 5 string version of your white BB 1024 - which I think you are also liking a lot?
-
Well I am now down from these 4 beauties (and a couple of fantastic 425s which came and went along the way), following the departure of my lovely NE2 into appreciative new hands today 😢 To this solitary, but very wonderful, beast!
-
If you don't have 30 mins to spare, then you could do worse than dive in at 17.35 to hear a classic Yammy BB "punchy growl" on the 735A on @such's video link. Great tone!
-
Believe me, the really excellent work you have done on the v3.5 and v3.60 editor and also the updates to the manual are the reasons I'm getting another FI! It's in a completely different league to the editor and manual that came with the first FI I got three years ago.
-
@Quatschmacher - no ruse mate, I had already secured a used v3 for a fair market price** 😉 Bit shocking they didn't give you a response, though, given how much time and effort you've invested with them.
-
Well hopefully they might take the opportunity to release a more compact version at the same time and, if they further improve the UI/display along Boss RC-5 lines, they're going to have a "ticking a lot of boxes" product on their hands.
-
Hehe - I'd best buy that mint v3 off you then 😄 Besides, I won't be getting a v4 until they're getting flogged used 6 to 9 months after they first come out, which could be 2+ years off. Plenty of time to get into the minutiae of @Quatschmacher's excellent manual!
