orangepeelneil Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 [size=3]Hello, This looks nice, a quick fix for someone. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-BB1100s-BASS-GUITAR-BUILT-JAPAN-/150448885316?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item230773ce44"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-BB1100s-BASS-...=item230773ce44[/url] I'd buy it if I was closer.

neepheid Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hmph, I was watching that. Guy had it listed starting at 99p but with hours to go pulled it and put it back up at £160 BIN. Annoying, it was sitting at < £100 when he pulled it, I was hoping he wasn't paying attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Im wondering if the circuit is goosed, or repairable? If not, surely it could be rewired as a passive bass? I'm talking myself into this...AAAARGH! Bargain - my 80's BB300 is a wicked bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an active/passive switch, but the active circuitry is totally transparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've just looked at the ad and notice he's snapped the circuit board. That's not quite such an easy fix but the bass would work passively. At that price, however, I'd expect a fully working instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've put it on the watch list... 6 days to go; not sure i [i]NEED[/i] it, but this is more or less the same as Tony Kanal used on No Doubts 'Tragic Kingdom' and his bass sound (and playing) is phenomenal throughout... The BB300 was my first working bass, and continues to be part of my recording bass stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
