Yeah, sounds like a plan. Never really needed to go below D anyway.

Cheers. Ive never used one before, although well aware of what they are and do. I did buy one years ago but never got around to putting it on my bass, and then sold it.

Guys, ive just ordered a BBP34, based on me loving the 425 i got last week. The 425 is great but i dont think I really want to use a 5 string bass all the time, so back to a 4 for now. I know there are cheaper alternatives but what the hell, i saw it for a great price (new) and i guess it doesnt really get much better at this price point. What i have realised is i could do with a low D on a few songs, so other than take two basses i was wondering if anyone has put a Hipshot Xtender on a P34, or similar. Or know if one will fit without any other modifications. Really looking forward to getting the P34. A bit apprehensive as it was at least £150 cheaper than other places, but sold as new. And still loving the 425 ive only had for a week. Thats not going anywhere in the near future.

If songs get banned because the ‘might’ offend someone, shouldn’t some books also be banned for the same reason.

Haha, 'our' Yammy's indeed. Hmmm, maybe i should get something like your Q/strip to bring out the best in my new bass lol.

Glad its working out Bas. Also check out the Pete Thorn YT video, he gets a lovely P bass tone, which i actually used for our last demo.

My first gig without back line was what promoted me to get a BDI-21. Just for that gig. it was a few years later when the BDDI bug hit me though. On that gig i got the sound guy to put my monitor behind me, seemed to work much better than in front where it started. It felt and sounded wrong in front.

Yaaay, I’m finally in the club!!!!!. Was good meeting up with you and yes, i fell in love with it the moment i picked it up. The neck just felt so flat and solid, exactly what i look for in a neck. I had convinced myself i was going to take it anyway, as so many Yammy lovers cant be wrong, but I’m glad i felt so positive from the off. Even the fugly pup surrounds look better in real life. I used to own a TRBX505 so its not my first Yammy, but I didn’t feel the love for that in a way i do for the 425. I fear this is just the start though. Maybe a 735 next as that was top of the list a month or so ago, but i diverted to a Sire P7 5, which didn’t work out. Short review coming tomorrow night after rehearsals, but I’m sure you all know how positive it will be.

Yeah, my comment was purely based on the OP's situation, which sounds very similar to the gigs ive been doing over the past 15 years. Bigger stages etc, different story.

Thats what i thought. I cant see an issue (in the real world) with going direct to the deck via a jack to jack. Ive been doing it for years without any issues, also on keyboards back in the day, in the same sort of environment as the OP.

Can i ask why a DI box is needed? Whats wrong with going B3n - Desk?

Blimey, whatever next, solar powered active preamps lol. (I bet someone goes off to google that and posts a link lol)

I didn't know you could do that.

How many other pickups did you try? Cost has absolutely no relation to how good a pup sounds. A pup that costs half of what you paid might have made a huge improvement. Ive had Fralins that sounded very mediocre compared to cheaper pups that cost hold of what i paid. Just saying

Ive just had a message come up on my B1 saying the battery is low. Thats not bad going as these are the ones that came with the pedal and ive used it quite a bit.

Or the GASinator.....😂

Thats all i want....oh, and for it to be under £100 🙂 Still tempted to try a Palmer Pocket to use with my BDDI.
