CameronJ Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Well, @Al Krow, it does feature your “Holy Trinity” of neck-through, 3 band EQ and individual bridge pieces!

therealting Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Doesn’t look like my thing, but would like to see it played before making my mind up for sure. I didn’t like the BBs until I saw them in playing position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be off with you now, young man, to your fizzy dUg pedal realm 😛 Edited January 24, 2019 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 What I like and don’t like, you don’t know....! Took your time answersing on here, rearranging the pedal board again, or polishing the gold hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yammy must have been on an away-day sharing design ideas with Aria and Markbass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok let's test the proposition that "Cuzzie likes Yammy basses" So you have exactly how many Yammy basses currently? The year you last owned a Yammy bass was when? 😛 Edited January 24, 2019 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I just think it looks off kilter with one big cutout. Why not 2 like an ultra modern Ampeg Scroll or a nice f-hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@23 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 That new Nathan East model isn't traditionally pretty, is it? Has the flag bass ever been available for purchase? Fair play to the man himself and Yamaha for doing something new and different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice!!! I definately see a custom tort guard and an East uni pre in my yamahas future! Strangely for me, I've not had a desire to muck about with the pickups!! Hmm Nordstrand blades???

The BBNE2 IS a wonderful instrument; as bassfan knows having tried it out and taken an instant like to it. And obviously you're both clearly not finding the hardware "bling" too off-putting (or I suspect in bassfan's case positively atractive - lol!)[1] I'll have to 'fess to recently turning down a very tempting offer for it recently from another chap who was after one in the same finish in the "items wanted" section: but I kinda worked out that I would have instant seller's regret, particularly as I had waited six months for one in white to turn up. So nope, mine's not going to be up for sale any time soon... What I am still waiting from Yammy is their BB735A with a neck through and individual bridge pieces - a P/J sister of the J/J BBNE2. There would be no hesitation in getting my plastic out for that Yamaha, if you're listening, particularly if you made one in white 😀 [1] But there again some folk are willing to pay extra for their basses to look like beaten up cra*p ("relic'd" I think they're called), so they can pretend to be 'cool', but each to their own eh? 😛 Edited January 26, 2019 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
