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).
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
