Check the distance between the stríngs and the (fret)board. If there is not clearance for the string to vibrate the tone will die - especially the deep tones. Most basses - even the cheapest of cheapest - will (if they have no serious defects) play at least decently if setup properly. So it is very likely something that can be solve by proper adjustment. As You probably bought this from new and may not be able to set it up yourself I would recommend starting by complain about the issue to Thomann and hear what they can offer.

Yes, but check which is what of the terminals.

🙂 Have fun!

Yamaha do on their website offer the possility to ask them questions ... 🙂

The Original Soundtrack and How Dare You (along with most Supertramp and late The Kinks releases) were magnificent releases in the popular end of progressive rock. Much creativity and good music on this side of the pond.

Nice. Congratulations. It certainly looks really nice and in good shape. Must be a proud feeling, being 2nd owner on an almost 60year old bass.

And some mighty resolutions. Thanks for sharing.

Acoustic piano ?

Have any of you tried these strings? If so how can you describe them ? I presently use D'Addario XL170-5 which are OK but the B string maybe lacks a bit in clarity. I would like to get rid of fingering noise and maybe get a little smoother feel - maybe try flats. Then these pop up as pricewise in the middle between consumers rounds and the cheapest quality flats.

Neither would I ever use a r2r for making pottery. But a turntable ... maybe 😁

Thinking about it I dont think I have seen him play in any of his videos. But he does the talking, with his charming accent.

Probably due to choice of lens and camera setup - it appears enormous compared to Mr. BassTheWorld.

Check mA rating per outlet. Some digital effects are demanding.

It could also be stolen goods ... 🤨

3 possible reason: 1. They stop gigging 2. They realized how practical multi effect units are 3. They are in separation from their partner and forgot the pedal board when they moved out 4. (Bonus) They realized tone is in the fingers 5. (Extra bonus) They grew up and started playing upright (bass, double bass 😉)
