looking forward to a little impressions write up on you bb1100s.

Hey, I have a MLD bass pre amp. I normally have it in my bass bag but don’t bring it. I’ll have to look what it has. The misses has a Yamaha p-225. thanks for the link, I will look into it

For that kind of price I may as well buy a new head and cab lmao. Cheers at least I know such things exist

Hey peeps. Newbie question. my misses plays piano and obviously I play bass. I wonder could we hook both instruments to a mixer and plug two sets of headphones into it so we can both listen to each other while playing? If so any recommendations? My amp is at mine and tbh i don’t want to keep bringing amp over. Never used a mixer before but when I asked about playing silently with a amp that doesn’t have a headphone and aux out, people suggested a mixer cheers

He is. Well happy for him. Yamaha basses are nice

My late 70’s Yamaha pulser 400 (39” nut) with Bartolini 8cbp pickups and chrome flats. oh boy does it sound sexy lol.

Wow. Well done. I was thinking of entering the comp and then my large format film addiction got the better of me and I bought some new film gear 🙈😩.

Hey peeps, Hope everyone is good. I’m looking at both the laney digbeth head and the tone hammer. I wondered if anyone has used both and how they compare. Can’t fined a comparison. I’ve played through a tonehammer and I like it. Isn’t any stores close to try the laney digbeth. I have a pbass and play finger style funk, r&b,mostly. Melodic melody jazz stuff with chords also. I don’t slap. Cheers

Oh dam, I see why you regret it. Ouch 😩

I stand corrected. You have better eyes than me lol.

Bassbros have a bb1100s in a competition. I think it’s a MIJ and not Taiwan as I’ve not seen a sunburst Taiwan made before. https://competitions.bassbros.co.uk/product/1987-yamaha-bb1100s/

Found these details of specs on here when I was looking a while ago on specs of different bb basses

Interesting. The jap bb’s are hard to find in uk. I’ll have a look at the bb414 and 1024 over here in uk. everyone who has heard my pulser or played it complements its tone. Yamaha do make some solid instruments

Hey bud. I’ve a jap 70’s Yamaha pulser 400 which i absolutely love. I’m thinking of picking up a jap vintage bb which has a pj. I wonder how do the one you have and the higher tier compare?

Thanks for informing us.

Bought a loom kit from John. As usual top quality and service. I’ve bought from him before and will do so again.

Know worries. I love the tone. I play mostly rnb, Motown, funk finger style works very well. it complements my wood combo with chords as well. Articulate but dreamy. arcane is really a top top pickup. I found out about them from a thread on talkbass. https://www.arcaneinc.com/bass

Have you tried either Bartolini 8s or 8cbp? I have the 8cbp in my Yamaha 70’s Asian ash maple neck & fretboard. smooth, creamy tone yet articulate. The treble isn’t spiky at all. A good amount of bass. The 8s has less treble and is more smoother that the 8cbp. arcane pickups are also highly regarded. I’ve never tried the emg GZR pickups.

Nice, did you pick that up from the bass gallery in camden? It looks rather familiar.
