So, it's a MiKro bass with a pickguard and active eq. Looks pretty good. 

32inch instead of the 28.6inch scale of the MiKro. 

Very interested in getting hands on with these. 

Absolutell hotbed for modifications at that price point. 

One of those with a humbucker at the bridge would do nicely.... 

Or if you really feel you need active, look up the older BB615. 

Morning all! 

I know there's a strong Scottish contingent around these parts so need some help. 

Sold a guy a bass and he has asked me about lessons. I've never had lessons in Glasgow so not sure who to recommend. Any one got any pals that would take a beginner? 

Ta! 

I assume some of us may have seen this: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/bass-guitar-yamaha-bb2000-thru-neck-21-fret-original-hard-case/1323477337 

£750 seems decent from my quick search

Well...my BB425 is in a very dangerous position right now.

Yeah.

i think I’m going to sort a 300 like my old one, then I want a 3000.

You mean something like this one. Looks killer! 

Oh man.

I've been eyeing these up to replace my cheapo fretless.

And I'm in Glasgow.

Welp.

At that's good! 

With the plugging into the amp thing - for me it would be how instinctive and easy it is to get a desired tone. For some having 5 knobs is perfect for the amount of control, for others it might be that passive, two knob control that's easy and 'natural' 

As you say, each to their own! 

Very quick question. 

I'll be down at Bass Direct in a few weeks, and obviously they have some very high end stuff - how happy are they for you to have a little noodle on things? 

Not many shops in the UK has the variety of stock they have so want to make the most of trying things to work out what basses suit me and what don't for future knowledge. 

Ta! 

Hey @Jiggfan

I'll send you a private message

Thanks! 

It's a great bass but just doesn't make its way into the rotation just now. 

Christmas is coming etc etc....

My Dad (guitar player) is currently using and really enjoying the Mooer GE200 - I assume this is just the cab sim section from that. He classes it as basically a budget Helix type system.

Have asked him what he thinks of it and will update later.
 

Apart from being a stunning bass - the bridge pickup looks really cool, wonder what the reason is? To imitate a slanted pickup maybe? 

I would have loved that Fretless 5er!! Should really keep a closer eye on eBay....

To totally divert this discussion. I saw a BB714BS for sale and wondered what the general consensus is on them? Obviously the Attitude is highly regarded but how does this sub-signature model hold up? 

Can anyone explain the bridge?

Looks good otherwise just not sure why it has a Steinberger bridge

A BB1025x has just popped up on Facebook for £550....

Must

Not

Buy

Anyone want a mint BB425? 😬

While the tone in the fingers argument is valid - I saw Santana this summer and he came out with a Strat at the end and looked and sounded completely lost. Understandable that Wooten isn't at his most comfortable on a jazz

There was a video on his Instagram page the other day playing a fodera and I thought it was one of those mock “shred” videos.

Oh definitely, some videos he tends to get lost in the technical side of his playing. 

Just saw this on Facebook 

Highly doubt it means anything but would be cool to see what Sire and Victor could do with a budget bass.... 

Just perusing Facebook and this popped up. Could be a suitable donor project? 

On enquire with our well featured @Andyjr1515

Check his thread about removing weight from a Harley Benton Jazz 

Aurichu,

I have sent you a private message!

Sad they aren't coming to Scotland this time round. They genuinely fill the entire room with joy and good vibes!
