    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Yeah, the sweaty thing was the exact problem I had when I tried it out yesterday and I didn't get the same feeling at all on the P34 (or even the 435).

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I've been BB-curious for a while now. Looking at the specs I realised the nut width for the 5-string models is not far off my 4-string Stingray. I was in London today so popped in to the Yamaha store and got to play with a BBP34 and BB735. The guy in the store said the BBP35 is like gold dust...

    In ear buds for bass

    I recently got some Sennheiser IE100 Pro for practising and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they perform.

    EBMM StingRay Special Club

    Technically no, but it's the only bass I currently play. I also have a Spector Euro LX4, and while I love its tone it's just too uncomfortable to play for long. The Stingray Special (4H) is just so comfortable and I can get great tones out of it.

    I still need to frame the print of this Oatmeal cartoon I've had for years (From his Literally comic.)

    What was your very first bass guitar?

    Peavey Milestone I from around '97 or '98. Got it from the Bass Centre in London back when it was still in Wapping. They advertised a beginners bundle in one of the bass player magazines. Got the bass along with a Trace Elliott 30W amp and a Warwick gig bag. Stuck with that until this time last...

    The bass sounds and looks really great, but Lobster! Your little Hendrix jam simply blew me away 👏🏻

    That looks stunning indeed! The chrome hardware does look good here, I think because you have a lighter fretboard but now I'm wondering if it would've worked with ebony too. Congrats on such a gorgeous bass.

    Every time I see these Sweetwater-exclusive finishes I get very jealous and frustrated that I can't (easily) get ahold of these!

    Official Darkglass Club: Welcome to the Darkside

    I've joined the darkside recently. Picked up an Element a couple of weeks ago, my first Darkglass pedal. Love the different tones I can get out of it.

    shoulder surgery

    I had right shoulder surgery a few years ago after a fracture. I was in a sling for 6 weeks and did physio for just about a year. It was probably a good 6 months at least before I could play for more than a few minutes at a time without getting discomfort or fatigue. The sling really destroys...

    Ernie Ball Music Man Custom Design Experience

    I'm very curious to see this. When I ordered my Blue Dream I went for black hardware as I wasn't sure I'd love chrome with an otherwise dark looking instrument (ebony fretboard too). I do love the dark look of the whole thing but sometimes I wonder if a bit of shiny from chrome would look good...
