    Boat anchor alert!!

    Yes, the translucent finished Swamp Ash Kiloton Tributes are heavy..... Every one I've seen a weight for, comes in over 10lbs, including my Irish Ale at 10ib 2oz. That demo on Sweetwater at 11lb 7oz would be too much for me, that's for sure! (NB. Even the solid colour basswood models tend to be...

    Lowest Priced New Basses Ever??

    You should be able to open a case now, even if you still have a delivery date sometime in the future, now that eBay have "pulled" his account.

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    It's only taken me 50 years to be "right" about something! LOL.These type of things are so subjective.......

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Haha. Even if that was a serious offer, I'd still say no. You might not be able to bond with your P34, but I have bonded with my 434, more than any other bass I own. I don't care that it isn't the "top of the range" Yammy BB, even though I own that too..... There's just something about it...

    I'll never sell my 434, so you won't be buying mine! LOL

    Dave, don't worry about them being called Super Bright nickels. They are not really that bright up the top-end, very similar IMHO to a set of XL's, but where they differ from the XL's is that they have a bit of punch/grind in the mids that will suit the slightly "sucked out" mid tone of the...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I've put the last 3 sets of Dunlop SBN's I've bought (one at a time from Amazon.com to avoid import fees) onto basses now. Haven't had intonation issues, so maybe it's a thing of the past. I've still got a bass strung with Fat-Beams, but although I was initially pleased with Hi-Beams and bought...

    I'm not slagging-off the PUP's on the P34/5 - they are great at what they do, but if you play a BB434/5 back to back with the P34/5 you'll find yourself thinking that the BB434/5 sounds more alive and has more mid presence. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. I totally get where...

    Yep, know exactly what you're talking about. I prefer the stock PUP on the BB43X series to the P3X. The BB43X is (from memory) something like 5% overwound compared to the P3X, which (I'm guessing) results in more presence in the mids. Standard P PUP is drop-in, in the latest Yammy BB series...

    eBay $20 or less new Bass purchase status poll

    Stupid..... Yep, that's a word that could be used to describe anyone who thought that a $17.99 "donation" was going to result in a bass being delivered to them...... LOL
