Just scored a BB414 on Ebay to go along with my RBX375! Looks sweet as maple syrup!

If it has red wraps then they're rotosounds (my BB614 came with these).

Yeah, I thought so too, but I just scored some rotosounds for my Jazz bass, and they don't have any wraps at all!! They are the nickle kind (swing bass 66). Maybe they are rotosound stainless steel strings...? Whatever they are, they sound fabulous - just fabulous, especially thru the SVT!

Yeah! Mine is just like this, except I have a pickup selector switch and not vol/vol/tone... Very sharp, indeed! That is the wine color, right?
 
Alright count me in I recently bought me a Yamaha RBX375 and love it,..I am going to restring it with a High C after these strings wear out as I dont have much use for the B.

here is a link to a cheesy pic of me with my Bass. I will have several new ones up in a week or so. Rock On and Hello Saxnbass whats up in Italy ??

I recently bought a bb614..
Always wanted one first time round but could not afford it.So when the reissue came round i was really pleased.
It is great to play but the pickups seem very sensitive to the direction i face when playing (i get a loud hum) as if there is a shielding problem, i have played many other basses through the amp using the same leads with no problem.
Has anybody else noticed this....

Those BB series basses are Ugly, IMO.
You already said that a few posts earlier...

I was never a big fan of the looks of the BB basses. I actually think they're ugly. Just My Opinion though.
... so what do you want? Please go play somewhere else, there's many threads that don't contain pictures of ugly Yamaha BB-series basses. Have fun, bye bye! :)
