SteveXFR Posted December 12 Posted December 12 I took my BB1100S to band practice for the first time. We're playing something between stoner metal and grunge so pretty noisy and nasty. The BB actually sounded better than my Spector. Played through an Ashdown ABM600 and Gallien Kreuger CX212 & CX115 cabs, it had a nice growl to it and loads of bottom end with a nice midrange punch. I had it set to active with mids boosted and both pickups plus a bit of drive on the amp. 2 Quote
Muzz Posted December 12 Posted December 12 I still love a BB, although these days the weight has taken them away from me... 🙁 Quote

dub_junkie Posted December 13 Posted December 13 My moonlight blue P34. Did have a 735a and was after a P35 but as is the way of things, I ended up with the 4 string. No complaints. Great bass! 8 14 Quote

djc63 Posted December 13 Posted December 13 (edited) Lovely looking bass chadu25, especially in that ice blue colour. Where did you get the replacement mint pick guard if you don't mind me asking? Edited December 13 by djc63 1 Quote

Where did you get the replacement mint pick guard if you don't mind me asking? Thank you! I found it on ebay, they make it particularly for bb434/435/bp34 and have different materials. It’s one week turnaround. In the drop down I chose category 2 and messaged the seller. Told him its for a BB434. Fits perfectly. https://ebay.us/m/vMVDrV 1 Quote

Yeah, it's all relative, but 3.67kgs isnt lightweight for me any more, I'm looking down around the 3kg mark these days...it's a shame... Quote

Ooh I see. Might wanna check Sandberg or the Sire V6 and P6 then. As far as I know they are the lightest even on 4s. Quote
la bam Posted Wednesday at 00:20 Posted Wednesday at 00:20 Played my 734a at an audition this week. First time I'd played it live. Through a rehearsal room cheap ashdown tone master and a cheapo hartke cab. Sounded glorious just in passive p mode. Never had people comment on a small room sound before but all members loved it. Warm, fat, but authorative. Sat in the mix lovely. Got me the gig too 5 Quote

Great bass! 8 Been looking at the BBP34 too as a ‘nice PJ’ but just wondering if it’s gas or if I should really check one out. That or a 434 Quote

That or a 434 If you're just dipping your toe in, get a 434! At least you'll find out if you like the looks and the general ergonomics. Quote
