How about a shot lined up next to your fav 1200S? I haven't had a chance to plug it in yet... but acoustically it sounds amazing.. I had a quick strum of Joy divisions 24 hours...this thing sings!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlscharisma Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Seem to be selling out rapidly. Bass Direct stock has gone and looking like PMTs 5 has gone. Anyway, order in with PMT so wait and see. Reading about those who have bought them and gave great reviews has turned my head. I've always steered away from Signature basses, but I love the aesthetics of this one and it isn't just a straight copy of the 1200s it's got a thing of its own going on. I'm sure Yamaha will make more based on the apparent demand. Edited December 6, 2020 by Sarlscharisma mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "another 4 string BB" does that mean you've got already got a couple in your herd? If so, what have you got (obligatory pics required, of course!)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlscharisma Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I seriously need to thin my herd if I like this BB. I got a real bad case of GAS with this and a Serek on the way. That’s it. I’m officially skint! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 4 hours ago, Al Krow said: Yeah but if you're selling to a global market, London and Manchester are probably the two strongest name recognition brands in the UK? (Maybe followed by Oxford and Cambridge?) And I say that as someone hailing from a Midlands city with double the population of Manchester. So from a marketing perspective it kinda makes very good sense. Agree. However, even though I have never met Peter Hook, judging from his interviews and performances, he does not come across as someone how would care too much about marketing. Anyway, to please the marketing men and show some love for Salford (well, indirectly), he could have gone for "Greater Manchester, England" 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marleaux62 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I think the new PH bass would of looked better with these knobs on. But I don't think you can get them anymore that's my only criticism so nothing really. I've been playing it again today it sounds fantastic in passive or active mode. I think a few of my basses are going to get very dusty. Edited December 8, 2020 by marleaux62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
