Band decided to tune down half a tone. Bought DR Drop down tuning strings. Rehearsal on wednesday ... put the strings on the 3000... sounds strange for me, I don't like drop tunings... we'll see if it will work out...
-
Did I already mention that the 3000ma is still fascinating me every time I play it...? 🙂

Just home from band rehearsal with the BB3000MA. Man that bass is the holy grale for me! :-)))))))))))))

My 3000 was of that colour. It was one of the last 40 ever built ones. Def. a fault to sell it !!!!!!!! I put an active Glockenklang in. Still have the rog. electronics somewhere. Silly thing to do !!!!!
One of the 5 basses I should have better kept. But I only sold instruments when I was in need for cash. As a musician, this happend sadly ofen to me....

Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!

So here the results:
BB1000MA: 8,48lb
BB414: 8,48lb
BB3000MA: 8,93lb
It proves me right that I thought they all were very similar concerning the weight. Funny that 414 and 1000 are 100% equal. Too bad I did not weigh the 1024 last year.

If it was closer, I’d be in the car 😉
This one would fit my black MA's very well 🙂 But petrol prices would be higher than the bass for me.... 😉

Oh, amp wise, I've been on quiet a jouney! I always loved the old Trace stuff that I played for about 100 years 🙂 But the cabs are soo heavy..!!
I tried a lot, went all digital with Tecamp and Orange Terror but it soundet only great when played without band... it could not cut through in my rock bands - maybe it works with other styles. Last try for "light and loud" were three Hartke 12", 500 watts digital combos stagged together.
Went on tour, played one night with a low budget analog rig of another band and sold everything digital at once when back home.
Remebered that I knew Mr. Gooday from Ashdown (ex Trace) and he very very very kindly offered me a nice deal - I am not Paul McCartney...!!!
In between I had been to Musicstore (again) and took time to test every amp they have in store. I was willing to buy the amp with the best sound for me (and my Yamaha, that I brought for testing) no matter the price. I did- it was a cheapo Hartke LH500 that blew me away because of its clear pure tone.
Now with the Asdown rig I can say that it is a totally cool rock rig, I love it. Still have my beloved 410s of Trace but this 300 watts cabs weight about 50 kilos.

Of course you must play it with a rig that is at least equal to the one you're used to. At Musicstore you can choose from 10watts Behringer to 8x10" Glockenklang and everythin in between. And my 410/210 /ABM600 Ashdown rig brings the best out of the bass. Although my spare amp, a Hartke LH500 is more transparent, more mosfet-ish 😛
Here are my 4 cool cats..

Well I liked the 734 at Musicstore when it came with fresh strings out of tthe box. I like all the ideas of the improvements! It's just that they made not a notable difference -for me.
-
Sound was great, it just was not the "step ahead" that I thought it woud be compared to my 1000ma. The 10000ma is lighter and felt somehow "faster" ...and my quiet new 414 does not feel or sound "cheaper " than the 1024.
By the way..I live close to the "Musicstore" in Cologne and I did not like the 2024 basses I could play there, nor the BBP34 that they have. I don't know why...
-
Had a white 1024 that was far to heavy and had a bassball racket as neck. Had to go soon again.
-
And this kind of finish is my second thought...great ideas here guys!
-
If an orange one will cross my way it will get a scratchplate 😛
-
Of course both can look good! Andy's looks realy cool with it ! Pics like his made me think about it 😉

Did I mention that I like it ? 😛
