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?

I want to share my experience with you guys about some noise coming from my BB735. I have been recently going to a gig that I plug directly into my amp. And the bass is a little bit noisy. I have never noticed it because I play with my HX Stomp 99% of the time and it has a noise gate. I think the electrical circuit of the venue makes it worse. The thing is that, today at home, I try it and it was also noisy. It's the 60 cycle hum. So, I've been thinking: if I change the bridge pickup for a noiseless pickup, it should make the noise dissapear, right? Do you guys habe experienced something like this?

Wow. I love the 1025 BBs. Great purchase!

I've been thinking about changing pickups of my BB735 lately. And the preamp. If I change the preamp, I'd get a Markbass preamp. But I'm not sure about the pickups. I put some Delano in my BB605 and I love the result. I thought about Delano again, but I'd like to get someting more vintage. Nordstrand maybe or Seymour Duncan. Any recommendation?

What does the 414 has that the 424 doesn't?? I've always seen the 424 as an upgrade. I was after one in white, but I got the chance to get a 414 in orange (my favourite colour) so I pulled the trigger. Very happy with it. Amazing tone. A little bit heavy, but worth it. I own a 735, 605 and a 414. But I really want a G5s...

I had one. Cool cab and it served me for small gigs. Great sound too.

Here is mine: The Poly Blue is in the Effects loop. The HX Stomp then goes to a Radial SB2. The Cioks is on the pedalboard because it doesn't fit under it. I need a new pedalboard...

In my case, I have a 735 and it's an exceptional instrument. The 1025 is suppossed to be in a higher level, but I haven't tried any, so I don't know. I also have a 414 and it's incredibly good. I really love it. If I were you, I'd get the 1025. And I'd try the 735 in a store, just to see if you like it. I should also tell you that the 735 is not modern voiced at all. It is more neutral, more "p-bass" or "Fenderish". The 1025 has its own voice (which I like more), but it's something to take into account.
