Yes you're right.... I did find it quite odd looking as I love the control layout of my BB1200S' ... Its grown on me now...
-
Yes it will.... shame Hooky didn't have the pictures on him at the time.... can't wait for all the promotional pictures and spec to come out.... Hopefully still got the Hooky pro 6 before it comes out...

Hooky has signed the contract for his signature bass.... not long now

Joyo American Sound overdrive - whoa! it's a bit good!

That's a real shame... a leeds deluxe would have been amazing... I use a VT deluxe for live work but the Leeds is more my sound. I had a leeds the I had modded with xlr out ...it was great!! I still don't know why I sold it it!!?? Out of all the gear I've owned over the years, the two bits of kit that I regret selling above everything are the Alembic F2-B and the Tech 21 Leeds.... -

I've just said virtually the same thing 😆 -

I wish they had made a Leeds deluxe .... I would have snapped that up... the normal leeds was fantastic... wish I I hadn't sold mine.... -
I've got a red one on order too... it's a bit frustrating having the dates put back and no word from Eastwood... I've have a 29 year old Shergold Marathon 6ix that I've had from new... the Eastwood version does look spot on...

Thanks that makes sense.... I still haven't got the XT out of the loft yet....damn this good weather.... I remember I couldn't get a good chorus on the XT it sounded really thin... Looking through the amp list of the LT I noticed that there was quite a lot of amps missing from the Helix lt that were in the XT...I really liked the Alchemist Alembic F2 b clone in the XT ....shame it isn't in the Helix... I wonder if they'll add some of the earlier amps cabs etc at some point...
-
That's interesting... in what way is the XT different to the HD500x.... ???
-
I used the GT 10B live for years... great bit of kit.... I remember at the Fleece in Bristol they recorded our sound check and played it back to us.... sounded great.... all that effort I put in tweaking paid off.... I've just realised I still have my Line 6 XT pro rack in my loft.... I wonder how that compares to the modern line 6 gear???? I must dig it out...
-
I'm about to pull the plug on one of these... As a Boss fan of many many years my heart is telling me to buy the GT... However my head is telling me to buy the Line 6 Helix lt.... I used to use the GT 6B/ GT 10B live and am very familiar with how to program it to get the sounds I want.... I've watched loads of reviews and they both sound great..... Has anyone had chance to use both....??? I want to use them live.... when things return to normal.

Now sold.... -
Yeah I've seen loads like this on the 1200....even my sunburst has some...never seen them on the 1200s though... weird. Well my 3 certainly haven't... -
No sorry I'm not interested in trades... I have a new project on the go that this will help fund...

Hello my fellow Yamaha nerds.. I have a couple of my Yammys up for sale...
-
Up for sale is my old Yamaha BB 1200 in natural. I've had this bass for many years and have used it in the studio and live many times over the years... I believe this bass was made in 79/80 and has the battle scars to prove it!! I had planned to refinish this bass in a translucent cherry red to match my 1200s but never got around to it.. On one of the tuners you will see that there is a piece missing.. in all the years over owned it I've not had a problem with it... I was going to replace the tuners with the schaller replacements ( I think it was schaller...might have been Gotoh) but again never got around to it as they never caused any problems... At some point in its life someone has used a thumb rest and there are screw holes to prove it... and on the lower horn someone has screwed in a strap locks.... maybe a lefty!!?? Any questions please contact me..and I'll get back asap...
-
Hello there, Up for sale is my Yamaha BB734a... which I've owned since they came out... I've used this mainly in the studio and a couple of gigs. It's in really good condition apart from where it sat on my old stand and has a few dents .. (see pix) as I hadn't noticed that the foam had lost its support... Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions...
-
Hope this isn't out of order... if it is please delete... but seeing as this is a massive Yamaha thread I thought I'd let the basschat massive know before I put it up on my Vintage Yamaha BB Facebook page... I'll be selling my Black BB734A and possibly my Yamaha BB 1200 (in natural )in the new year... if anyone is interested please don't hesitate to contact me....

I have to admit I don't know much about Steve Harris...but didn't he use Hiwatt amps or a clone of one.. I think...??? If so is this pedal close to the Tech 21 Leeds...?? I used to use the Leeds with bass and I really regret selling it...I was so dissapointed they never made a Leeds deluxe...
-
Ha.... I was just thinking... maybe I was being daft wanting to get another one (had a black one)...and you went and finished with... "What a tone though" ..... bugger!
-
I know what you mean... mine used to dig into my forearm... but weirdly I found it ok to play sitting down...
-
Arrrgh.... when I bought my 734a it was a toss up between that and the red JC... you've made me lust after the red JC again now!!!😂
-
About time Boss... I may have to have a look at this now...
-
Yes.....😀
