Thats lovely. Pm'd. -
Just found this thread. Well done. The bass looks lovely and those pickups sound great. What a result!

That Fafner is a lovely looking thing. Congrats.

Lovely job that. Fantastic work. Enjoy the bass!

I have a BBP34. Its a magnificent bass. I love it. Great sound, top notch components and build. Furthermore, as far as I can see, everything that Yamaha make, from mixing consoles to motorbikes are well thought out and supremely workmanlike devices. They do what it says on the tin very very well for a very very long time. All that being said- and I hate to sound cynical- what the IRA treatment boils down to; They take the bass, shake it for a bit (albeit at various specific and pre planned frequencies), and that is meant to make it sound better? I mean, who am I to judge.....?

I'm interested, but sadly I don't have the cash! I hope someone bites. Its not a great time to be selling gear generally I think. There is a lot of nice gear on hear ATM which is just not shifting... -

That is very cool. I'll dig mine out at the weekend and have a look inthe cavity. Many thanks.

I'll have a look when I have a mo. You wouldnt happen to know what the resistance accross your one is would you? If its the same as mine then I might just be expecting too much...

I've got one of the original ones. Its a lovely thing but the pickup is a bit weedy I find. How does it compare to the Eastwood ones? Also, I wrote to Paul Day (The Guitar Guru) in the pre internet age looking for some information on the bass. I seem to remember he said they made 73 six string ones. Which seems like a suitably bizzare number...😆

A ludicrously good bass for the money. Someone will be very happy with this. GLWTS. -
Greco GOB 700 and 900 (I think single and twin pick up models)? Headstock redolent of an eighties Ibanez. Excellent build quality. Mostly a Japanese domestic thing I think as they are like hens teeth in UK/Europe...

Worth holding out for an early one with the Bill Lawrence Blades, IMHO. I have two with blades and a much later Artisan with Kent Armstrongs. I like the Armstrongs a lot and the Artisan is a fine bass, but the blades are by some distance the best passive humbucker I've ever used.

Or the old Kestrel basses. I've been looking for one for ages. Plus of course my seemingly endless quest for a Manson Explorer... You also very rarely see Gibson Victory basses in the UK.
