    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    In few days I am going to test BB2024x. I am very curious what this is going to be.

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I really liked old BB1024 and 2024. Specially 2024x was hell of the bass. I was looking around to have one but I ended up with Fender as there were no BBs at that time and GAS was strong with me. New BBs are a bit more mainstream. Pros and cons are there but I think I understand their point of...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Nice catch Yamaha! I am very happy with my BB3000MA. It is a very special instrument with full of tone and nice ballance. Now I am kind of in GAS teritory and curiosity for these BBs. Any thoughts on BBP34 vs BB2024X? I love deep tone of these BB pickups on BB3000 and similar on BB2024. Is this...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I've been big fan of these Yamies for a long time. Tried a lot of them BB424, 1025, 1024, 2024... 414. Especially 414 from my friend got me back to this area of low notes and different wibe. I got lucky enough to await my new BB3000MA and I am wondering if there is something like preferable...

    Club Fbass (thread 13)

    I found out that people sometimes get rid of them because of some gear acquisition circle which keep them playing more traditional instruments. Sometimes they do not like shapes and longer scale. To me it is all perfect. Even though it is heavier it doesn't hurt my back as the bass is perfectly...

    Club Fbass (thread 13)

    Hi guys. So, I got my first BN5 and I am absolutely absorbed by that bass wibe. Sounds killer, dynamic, steady and it is working perfectly. I have written an email to F bass directly but I will be happy for any advice. Problems? Electronics? Truss rod? Something about finish? I am so happy with...

    Darkglass Microtubes 900 Class D Amp

    Good bass day to all, after long decade with GK and MarkBass I decided to get out of my comfort zone and try something I dind't want to accept as my main amp. tl;dr; I did something not realy clever. I bought D class. Problem is that all these cool, elegant and pure sounds of AB solid state or...

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club Part Seven!!!

    Honestly, I tried almost 20 MIMs and I consider them a good choice.l and way better then Squier. But in my opinion my AVRIs are on another level. In studio and on stage... My band colleagues found out easily that I changed for MIM or Skyline in case we played somewhere where I didn't want take...

    I found US more even over fretboard and sound more defined.

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club Part Seven!!!

    I tried few of these and my conclusion is that if you do not have budget for Pro or AV and want upgrade from Squier then Player is very good option, especially on second hand market these are available for good price.I think they improved quality in these MIMs. Reasonable upgrades can be done...

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club Part Seven!!!

    Hi guys, I wanted to do JB upgrade to my studio stack so I went from MIM to 62 AVRI, older one but great. AVRI was good choice so I got AV II PB on recommendation. PB is so good it started GAS inside me. I can switch from AVRI to AV2 for like 300$ but I am not sure. I am not Fender purist but...

    I am still discovering tonal range of my US 55-60 and this 20 years old bass with Fralins just got me. Great dynamic stable tone. In this case, US is worthed.
