I am currently dabbling in the world of 5 strings. I have one sat next to me currently. I'm not sure what I make of it. Pretty sure another 5 string isn't the answer to the question! is this the sort of thing you wore for Yamaha bass t-shirt? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Yamaha-Short-Sleeve-T-shirt-White-w-Front-Pocket-w-Yamaha-Logo-Back-Bass-/233634030345 Quote

I got one of these instead: Now I've gotta find myself a Humbucker t-shirt with just a P pup on it...proving surprisingly elusive for some reason. Edited February 15, 2021 by Al Krow Quote

I'm not sure what I make of it. The key is to remember that the extra string is primarily there as a thumb rest to avoid that ugly thumb wear you often see next to pups on basses. 14 minutes ago, LukeFRC said: Pretty sure another 5 string isn't the answer to the question! Surely it depends on what the question was? For example, if the question was: "what sort of bass did Al Krow buy after his previous 5 string?" that would be a perfectly good answer. 1 Quote

Close but no cigar - it needs to be a "Humbucker" t-shirt featuring a P pup, not called a "P-style pup" t-shirt, that's far too common usage by everyone on the planet. Quote

Guest Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Can't now remember what I was searching for, as once my eyes fell on this 614 in Pewter, everything else was forgotten. Mmm, shiny. (Mmm, matching headstock, too) Quote

Al Krow Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Yeah making me realise I sold my mint BB 425 for far too little! But at least it went to a mate, who continues to put it to very good use judging from his recent recordings! Quote
gobasserk Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Just found something I did some 20 years ago when the BB1000MA was quiet new to me.. just a diy-production and a little bit floppy.. the pic shows the bass during the recording. Damn, I wonder what amp I did use back then...it must have been a Trace AH or maybe a Warwick ProTube or ProFet.. I remember the drummer used to amp up his drum kid in the rehearsal room that loud, that I sometimes was standing in front of my cab wondering if it went silent... 🙈 🤣 We gave up the project 'cause we could not find a singer that could cut through that sound... this was one of the smooth songs 😉 Song featuring Yamaha BB1000MA Edited February 17, 2021 by gobasserk 2 Quote
Booga13 Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Just come across an interesting old beastie up for sale, headstock says DT250 but a quick search is not bringing up anything, it's made in Japan with a low looking serial no. 001110, through neck with P only pups, any ideas? Looks at lot like a BB1200, was DT250 a model number for a different country? Edited February 17, 2021 by Booga13 spelling! Quote

Very tempted but I REALLY need to be thinning the herd not growing it, if I hadn't just had an email from Mark at Limelight telling me that he's just completed my build I MAY have been able to justify it but not now😣 Link below for anyone else who's up for either a gamble or is close enough to the auction in Evesham to check it out in person, it's clearly had a life so may be a dud or at least need at lot of TLC https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/littleton-auctions/catalogue-id-srlit10167/lot-385ea3dd-8979-4839-90e5-acd1010f4632 Hope this isn;t breaking any forum rules, apologies if it is and please remove the link if so Quote
