Yamaha Club Part II

[combobob]

Thanks nutso,
shaved the bottom of the nut down a bit tonight, sanded the fingerboard a little more and put another coat of oil on it. Putting on some Rotosound Flatwounds tomorrow.

I just purchased my first Yamaha BB414 from American Music in Fremont yesterday. I went to this shop to have my amp repaired about one week ago, and I decided to play this little bomber through a GK head I've had my eye on.

This bass started calling to me. My friend (and guitarist in our band) said to me, half jokingly, "Why don't you buy it?" I stood up and said, "I think I will!"

It was priced so right, I just had to do it. This is really a versatile P/J, and I love the bottom end I'm getting out of it already. I had it home for the first time last night, and am digging it big time, even with factory set-up and strings. I will probably put DR Fat Beams on it after I get to know it a bit, but may just go back to D'addario Chromes.

Sorry for the lame phone pic, but you've seen this model a time or two before

 

[nutso42]

Yeah, but they never cease to be cool. #225 for thudstaff23

 

[thudstaff23]

Thanks!! Glad to join. This bass has put me in a trance the last two nights. I'm loving the variety of sounds on this P/J. This BB414 may possible be my wisest purchase ever in my gear history. I haven't had internet at home (just moving), but when I hook it back up I'll post some cool pics.

Hey, bought a BB614 a little while back; ordered it in for the colour, and I just replaced the bridge.

Check it out -

Did I get a number?
I posted pics back on page 7.

 

[nutso42]

Sorry, I don't know how I missed you. You get #226.

As for Deneh, he gets #227. And I do believe that's the first BB I've ever seen with 3-band EQ.

 

[Deneh]

Yes, the 414 seems quite a bit more popular. Still happy with the choice though, even though the preamp feels a little cheap

 

[combobob]

I wanted to adjust the nut on my RBX270 and it snapped as I was removing it.
So I cut up an old ebony double bass nut that had and made a new nut. It still needs some fine tuning, but it works. And the colour blends in with the fingerboard better than the white plastic one.

 

[nutso42]

Wow, that does look good.

P.S. I like your flickr photo album. I've wanted to convert my Yammy into a fretless for a long time, but I've been too cowardly to try it so far.

Shmone gets 227. That RBX is the exact model as mine. Nice.

Flaked Beans gets 228. Lovin' the partial cutaway on the fretless TRB.

 

[BassAgent]

@Flaked Beans: I like yours! You have to clean them, though

We have sisters

I'm selling the fretless, though, to buy a Celinder...

 

[Funky President]

My 2-month old TRB 5PII

I chose the Bubinga top and I must say that I am not at all disappointed by my choice.

Please excuse the shoddy camera work/non-original pictures

What number do I get?

 

[nutso42]

229 mister president.

 

[AttitudeCastle]

I'm new to all this, but can i get a number? My new Yamaha Attitude is a beauty!

Once i get a new cable for my camera and some batteries i'll put up a pic

=D

 

[nutso42]

Sure, you get # 230. Just remember to post the photos of your Yammy

 

[AttitudeCastle]

will do ASAP!

 

[nutso42]

I must say, just spending all your money on a Yamaha Attitude and two Ampegs sounds like the best investment ever.
