I think it lookes pretty cool and it may compete with "premium" manufacturers. Finally, Ampeg seems to create an Ampeg preamp with great quality.

I'm still deciding wether I keep the Vintage Pre preamp on the board. I usually use the HX Stomp as a preamp and I have a couple of presets that I like. I don't usually use many effects so it might be redundant to have both. Still trying. Also, I am also testing the compressor in different places. -

I could take care of that Pulp N Peel... I have bought and sold that pedal three times and I always come back to it. I'd probably get another one... -
Man I've always loved that finish. I was about to buy one on Reverb but I finally didn't and I regret it
-
Yamaha has released two new finishes for the Pro series. And I love both.

I wanted to change the pickups and preamp in my BB735. I didn't know which pickups, but I was sure about the preamp. However, I ended up getting the pickups changed first. Then, the luthier who did the job told me to give the preamp a shot with the new pickups. And I like it. The preamp I think it's transparent and it just EQ. It doesn't add any magic (like the Aguilar or more coloured preamps) but it allows the bass to sound more transparent. I don't know if I will change it in the future, but for now, I just like it.
-
I see (or I saw before the change of pickups) my BB735 as neutral sounding. It might not be the best sounding bass by itself, but in a mix it's perfect. I have been asked to take it to every gig by some BL. The 414 I have has its own thing and it's really cool too, but in my case, I love the new range. My 605 had also it's own thing, but it didn't bite as the 414 IMO.

Cool pedalboard. I am thinking about going back to my Markbass or Ashdown preamp/DI and leave the HX for effects. What does the Sansamp offer you that the HX don't? -
I know this has been discussed before, but I wish Yamaha would offer more colours in their top range.

Last update: TC Polytune 3-->MXR Studio Compressor-->HX Stomp-->Radial DI and the MXR Poly Blue Octave in the FX loop of the HX Stomp. -
Did you use tape instead of screws? It looks really really good. @AndyTravisI contacted them but they were not sure about the size. Since you put one in your BB414, do you have the size of the pickguard?
-
When you use it, do you play in the lower part of the neck or do you go the upper register?
-
I have to admit that I got one because of the octave up. In my band there is only one guitarist and when she does a solo I wanted something to fill more, but I'm not convinced. I have to spend more time with it to try some of things you guys use it for. I seems to have a lot of possibilities

I'd get a LPF and set it as your cab. I used to did this with a Broughton LPF -
I have one and i absolutely love mine. It's an awesome bass
-
My BB605 has grown on me. It feels really good.
-
I have finally got the pickups on my Yamaha BB735 switched. I kept the preamp because I don't know which one I should put on. My luthier says he actually likes this preamp and I think I do too, so I will keep it. For now at least. It sounds better now. Does it sound much better than with the stock pickups? I don't think so. I mean, it sounds better, but the stock pickups sounded good too. There is no hum with these pickups though.

This pedalboard is a Harley Benton Spaceship. It is the same than the Palmer. I should've got a Pedaltrain -

My small pedalboard. The Cioks doesn't fit under the pedalboard and I am trying to find a solution. My MXR Poly Blue is waiting its room in the FX loop. My Ashdown OriginAL and Markbass Vintage Pre are used sporadically when I have to use a lot of synth effects. -
Mine is from Indonesia. I must say that Made in Indonesia usually says good quality. I'm sure it depends on the brand, but I have a lot of basses (three Yamahas, one Schecter and even a Squier) and they all are pretty good quality.
-
They are great basses. I tried the 435 and was really good, but I preferred active (even though the schecter is passive :P) and I went with the BB735. It's my main bass, I love it. I also have a BB605. Can't go wrong with Yamaha (or Schecter)
-
I agree. I love mine. It's one of the only pedals that my Stomp cannot take out
-
I think this is my new favourite post in Basschat. You guys have some really interesnting setups. Mine is rather simple, because I mostly use a clean tone for most of my projects. Bass-->Wireless-->Tc Electronic Polytune3-->MXR Studio Compressor-->HX Stomp-->Radial DI. Depending on the project, I use the MXR Polyblue Octave and some fuzzes and overdrives in the loop of the HX. I used to use also my Ashdown or my Markbass DI, but now I am trying some Ampeg sims in the HX.

I love the J-5. Old model and new model. I'd probably get one in the future (but not in the near future...) What I got is a CV-5. Awesome quality and awesome sound. The neck feels amazing. But it is heavy. Really heavy. My Yamaha BB735 weights 4kg and the Schecter 4.9. But I'd recommend it any day.

I haven't tried to put the drive before the octaver. How does it track?
