Hi there, just in case there is someone out there who likes to own a BB3000 (not MA) - Yamaha sent a few of these cult basses to Europe (40 in Germany) They started at 1800,- Euros but now Musik Schmidt is selling them for 1099,- Euros. Available in black metallic and wine red. I did it! :-) I wanted a BB3000 for many years. What a great bass!

I've not heard mine make the jar-of-wasps buzz sound at all. Mark[/quote] I tested the Hartke VXL, the MXR M80 and the Aguilar Tone Hammer last week. Test bass was a 3300 Euro Fender CS Precision over a Glockenklang BassArt plus Glock Take five cab. All boxes sounded good but I liked the Hartke best for its tube sounds! Wow, it makes a tube amp out of every transistor. The Aguilar and the Dunlop sounded more flat or clean, maybe the better boxes for recordings. But I wantet something for my live stuff. I love the sound of my set up (Trace MKV, old trace cabs) but I don't want to miss the Hartke since I own it! It was the cheapest box surprisingly enough. Try it out!
