    I am looking for a versatile bass as my first upgrade. I have heard people raving about the Ibanez Premium SR series with Nordstrand pickups, Yamaha BB's and G&L L2500 series. I am really only going to be able to have 1 bass. I'm split between these choices. I am hoping to be able to have a 5...

    Yamaha BB435 - B string problem. Help me!

    Hello, I'm a beginner bassist who purchased Yamaha BB435. But IMO its B string is unbalanced and has short sustain with dull sound. The string is stock and I just flatten my neck because the gap between 12th fret and strings has almost 5~6mm. Now it seems to have 3mm and plays nicely. And I...

    Yamaha BB 3000 pricing

    Dear fellow bassists, I am considering selling my 1983 Yamaha BB 3000. It is in top condition. As these do not show up that often, does anybody have some advice on what it could be worth? Thanks a lot! David

    Opinion: 2018 Yamaha BB734a or 2013 Gibson EB

    I have always been interested in the 2013/2014 Gibson Eb basses, but have never found an opportunity to play one. I currently own a 2018 Yamaha BB734a and really like it for the most part, but am debating whether to sell it and buy the Gibson. Does anyone have any experience in playing both...

    Looking for a used bass similar to the Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass by Fender or Yamaha BB-1000S. I love the sunburst look with no pickgard, but I can deal with a pickgard for the right bass. Either German, US, or Japan-made. I really love the Yamaha BB1000s as I previously had the...

    Yamaha BB 415 and pickups height

    Hi ! I've got a Yamaha BB, years ago I was playing in a rock band, kind of post-punk band, I had to change the height of the pickups because when I was plucking sometimes the bass made strange sounds, strings hitting the pickups. Well, I quit the band because it wasn't really my style, too much...

    Onboard 3-band EQ, potential mod and some more questions

    Hi everybody. I've had a couple Yammie BB615s for some weeks and I'm finding what really sucks is that the onboard preamp lacks headroom when boosting EQ past a certain point (more evident when soloing the bridge PU, presumably the hottest?), thus it clips. I've mitigated this by lowering the...
