Checking in as a proud owner of a bbn4f, 

Yamaha fretless https://imgur.com/gallery/JILj2q9

I'm obsessed with this thing, it plays so well

I'll give it a look

Hey guys 

I've been practicing at home with headphones and a zoom b3n.

Would I be better off going into a small practice combo or getting a headrush frfr?

I do play guitar aswell if that helps

Wow, that is my theory blown out of the water right enough!

Any idea what the naming convention might be, then? I'm surprised how many variants there are of these BBG's and BBN's.

And that's a nice looking active version, btw. Normally I'm not mad for black basses.

Maybe we should have a "show yer BBG/BBN thread"..

Done and done!

I think the Yamaha naming convention is such that "S" means sunburst (Per my own BBG4SII). I notice your BBG5 has non original Kent Armstrong pickups. How does it sound?

 

Huge, I'm surprised as my other bass is a ibanez atk400 and the Yamaha sounds bigger if that makes sense

This is the pic I have of the fretless

I can see I good difference in pricing between the two models on reverb historically.

I know it's not quite the same but just wondering if it's a quality difference or if someone could give me an idea where they sit in the product line

Confusingly that seems to be the general consensus but my bbg5 is a passive model, I find the Yamaha history of models hard to get info on

Hey guys looking at a trade of a bbg5 for a bbn4f. Just wondering if anyone could enlighten me on the difference between the two lines? 

So let's have a show off your bass party, to try and make sense of the lines!

I should ask any budget suggestions?

It's a passive bass

Hey guys picked up a Yamaha bbg on the cheap and I was looking for a suggestion for upgrading the existing soapbars?

Seems to be about a hundred in it in euro? Or at least in Ireland. I went the cheap skate route and bought a zoom b3n , figured it was more about practice then fiddling with its. (I'm primarily a headphone player anyway)

I've a atk 400 (my first bass after many guitars, great fun, quite a few tones )

Oh a zoom multieffect

Hey guys quick opinion b3n Vs the spectradrive?

Not to harass you but any chance of postage to Ireland?

Just wondering if you guys have any thoughts on it? Really hankering for one but need to sell off some stuff first

Added cost and predicted market is my guess

Hey would you be open to offers on the ampeg and would you post to Ireland?

It was more using a Di as an tone shaping device

Tbh I'm happy with the tones from the zoom stuff, don't know how much better the helix would be just for home practice

I should add, my main playing is done thru a b10n or a g3n that's about it. Still have some amps but just makes more sense in a semi d house

For home practice which gives you more.milage , something like a zoom b3n or a do box like the fender downtown?

I've a b1on which is grand but is about to be stolen by my daughter
