    Owning Two Exact Same Basses

    Having two of the same is actually what i am trying to achieve. I recently got a BTB866SC –because i need one for a band that will require me to do a lot of chordal stuff, the only other bass i own being a 5 string– and it feels right at home for me. I used to own a BTB846SC-DTL but had to sell...

    Mayones owners club.

    Hello everyone! I don't know if this is allowed, but i'll ask anyway: does anyone here own an Ibanez BTB846SC-DTL and would like to trade for a Mayones BE-5 Exotic from yhe early days? Us Bartolini PU & preamp, 5 string, bolt-on, fretted? I used to own a BTB like that and the only way for me...

    Oh.. You don't sound too impressed 🙄😅 I am like you in that i barely ever use drive, just a touch to beef up the sound but that's it.. I hope i will enjoy mine cuz even the NUX Melvin Lee and the Laney DigBeth are out of my budget ! Thanks for the review!

    Yamaha BB435 Is An MVP

    The Yamaha BB435 is up there on my gas list.. i can't afford it given the EU prices for it but i think one of those would complement my Sire M2-5st really well... In fact, the two basses i have tried in stores that have impressed me most were a Yamaha TRBX505 in white and a BB435 in Teal Blue...

    My corner of the house, what's yours!

    Maaaaaan i am so jealous of your Ibanez AGBV205A and Yamaha BB. I wish i could afford even just a BB435 Tobacco Sunburst or Teal Blue !! Here is my corner: - Sire M2-5st still with its original strings and Sire gigbag, - Harley Benton DNAfx pedal for silent practice, - Warwick Gnome head...

    Cort B5 element question

    I used to own one, with the red finish. It was a fantastic instrument that i regret selling. The balance was great, and i am mostly a fingers player also, never use a pick and rarely slap, and the controls never god in the way. Sold it because i was moving away from 5 string.. sold it...
