I think it's more based on the RM series. The EQ of the ABM goes down to 40Hz and the OriginAL 100Hz. However, you get really close IMO.

hahaha, well, I use their OV1 Meters

Yes, I thought the same about the valve drive. Until I found out that the input gain really affected the valve drive. It is a really awesome unit for sure.

Thanks for your post! I wanted to make a demo too... But my camera broke so I haven't been able to do it. In my case, I used to have a Tone Hammer, which is an awesome preamp, but the OriginAL is just too good. I'm in love with mine. The headphones input is noisy, but it's something I don't use/need so I don't really care about that.

@Al Krow I currently own a Yammy BB735 and BB734

Thank you! The weight is something I read about and that's a concern... Thank you for the input!

Since a lot of you guys are Yamaha experts, I want to ask you about the TRB series. I am looking for a 35" 5 string bass and, since I love my BB735, I looked at the TRB. It seems really cool, but there might be features that I will miss (active/passive switch and strings trough the body. They are not key features, but nice to have). There are not many videos/clips demoing the bass. I will try it for sure before buying, but I am also interested in your input about it.

In my case, I had the RM already, but since I'm going ampless lately, I wanted something to sound like it in a pedal.

Not actually a problem, but I find it odd. It keeps the volume of the bass. I need to experiment more though.

The EQ affects the same frequencies than the RM in theory. I bought the OriginAL preamp because I love the RM and I really like Ashdown. Playing with it for a couple of months already and I love it. The Drive is not subtle and it is affected too by the Input of the pedal. I use to add some overdrive to the clean tone. But I can run it clean when I use a Chorus or a Delay. It is actually a pretty awesome preamp. What I find weird (maybe because I used to play with the Tone Hammer) is that the Output is at 3 and it doesn't give a lot of volume.

I trully love them. I will try to get one in the near future. Wow, yours looks amazing. Is it like blue/gray? Love the new finish!!

Well, the BBN5 is not a bad bass... Kind of my dream bass 😆😍

JHS Pulp N Peel always on. Not too much, just a little bit.

Thanks for sharing! I couldn't watch it yesterday. His bass sounds really good and the finish is really cool. I wish Yamaha did more finishes like this one in their higher range. Even though I love my Sunburst finish .

I saw they posted them on Facebook and I had gas attack... I was looking at the 12" by Orange, but now that Ashdown has one I will probably get one by them. And the 210 is also tempting. I wonder how they compare to the RM cabs.

Only 3? 1-Gibson Grabber. I've always wanted one. A Ripper would also be cool. 2-Music Man Stingray 5 Especial in blue. 3-Squier CV Bass VI. Just weird and cool.

I really like it. Better than the Aguilar Tone Hammer IMO, which is the other one that I have. The EQ is very useful. The valve overdrive goes crazy very quickly. At 9 is already a very high gain overdrive. It is also very interactive with the input knob. The best thing is that you have an overdrive level, so you can get clean and overdrive tone without a jump in volume. I will try to record some overdrive sounds

I know you told us about this bass in the thread but I couldn't find it. Is a BB414 right? And the pickguard was made by a luthier? I have to tell you: orange is my favourite colour and I'm considering buying a BB with that same finish from a local store...

I completely agree

Me too! I really like to watch what and how people are playing. Really cool @WalMan

Pretty cool man! And the tone is really good. Which bass is that? Awesome playing.

I saw two stores having them at 179 pounds. I was really tempting to get the Studio compressor...

I'm curious too. Besides the All about the bass video on YouTube, I have seen nothing. I'm really curious about the Studio and the Velvet

They are always on. I starting to use them because I go ampless 99% of the time. The HPF cuts the subs. I started to set it at 60Hz. Especially with my 5th string bass, it just sounds more tight. It gives more room to the kick drum (my drummer likes bassier kick drums) and it protects the PA and the amp. I use the LPF as the rolloff of a very transparent bass cab without tweeter. It helps especially with distortion. If I use a cab with a mic, I don't use the LPF
