    Yes the SUB is a bargain for American made Musicman bass, no lie but the electronics aren't the same. I don't know so much for the pickup itself but this is only a 2 band active EQ and no pickup switch. There are vast differences between the SUB5 and the Classic 5.... A bit misleading when you detail it like that. Perhaps a revise? I'll happily remove my comment afterwards ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

    I suppose its always good to have the option of cases. Beautiful basses from the 80's/90's.

    I thought they came supplied with MM cases for free in 1993, as much as in 1987 and now ? ๐Ÿค”

    Truer words have never been spoken I've never tried adjusting a dual truss rod but I imagine it's not too hard... I bet the necks never move enough to adjust them. Some good basses out there in the mainstream market, each to their own on brand and model but for me, some of the budget instruments are really turning heads for playability and functionality.

    I appreciate it's good for a travel bass, it does what it's functioned to do if full scale and oversized basses aren't practical in some situations... But ~ยฃ700 for something that sounds boxy, intonation issues, no string tension and the hefty price tag. I'd consider an Ashbory or Kala. Also, seen the price of strings? Last time I checked there were ~ยฃ45-50

    Been mentioned and Iโ€™m not a hater.... but the Rickenbacker Basses are punching above their weight for โ€˜nothing specialโ€™ for ยฃ2000+, when you can consider what else is out there for less or equal price... some nice boutique builds out there. Taylor GS Mini.....

    Hey BCโ€™ers! I was in my local store the other day when I got talking to the owner, an authorised Yamaha dealer. Asked about any new basses coming in, and he said he's expecting some "new BB's" in a few weeks and word from the Yamaha Rep of a new Billy Sheehan โ€œwith scalloped frets and in the blue colourโ€ I am aware that these features are standard for the AT3 but this isnโ€™t something heโ€™d be stocking, not for ยฃ3000 a pop in his little store and I donโ€™t know if theyโ€™d actually revamp a BB174 with a new colour and scalloped frets. i just wondered for those out there, in the know, if they have heard anything similar and if so what? Any sources? Iโ€™m quite interested to find out more... considering Yamaha have released news of Ampeg Amps โ€œjoiningโ€ the Yamaha Guitar Group, this wouldnโ€™t shock me for more bass gear coming our way to keep up the sales of both Basses and Amps. BSB

    Being honest, for the little time I've used it (perhaps 3 hours most since Xmas) there's no fan sound/interference as far as I can remember but I'll check it out later to be doubly sure.

    Got myself some M-ears on the way as a backup pair but they're not the same haha! Fingers crossed TJ, a fantastic amp and I'm sure you'll love it!

    Karl's latest victim! Only took him 9 years to finally get me haha. Traded a Fender Mex Geddy Lee Jazz Bass in sunburst and a Gibson SG bass in Fireburst Satin for a Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude LTD 2 (25th anniversary). Initially sorted through Facebook sales page (I missed the advert on here!) but all went extremely well with Karl making a drive to me to trade basses, which was really appreciated and I'd have loved to spend more time with Karl to pick his brains on basses and gear but timing was off this time. Maybe next time Karl All the best for now and enjoy the basses. BSB
