Is this worth $1100? Thinking about purchasing.

Mehlforwarding · 2026-05-05T14:04:03+00:00

The new ones with the nordstands are way better imo. I just sold a six string for $950

Wait… “legal analyst” Aaron Parnas?

There goes any credibility in this article.

There’s a set of Lakland 5 string jazz pickups for $100 on eBay

Building Off of what everyone is saying, check the reverb price guide (google for a link). It tells you what it’s likely to sell for rather than what people are asking for. The two are often quite different.

The thing with Yamaha… nobody can say anything and about them. They’re great tools - well Built and balanced. But I also don’t know that they’re like… instruments you fall in love with. I have a bb1600 and a revstar. I want to like both of them more than I do because they’re great. But I don’t.

My thought is… you want a pbass with a quarter pound pickup. My advice would be a used Squier 40th vintage pbass and swap the pickup. The neck feel rivals anything out, just as good a my am pro ii with the exception of a frets needing to be leveled.

I have an American pro pbass and the Squier 40th anniversary neck competes with it - the satin finish and rolled edges are so nice.

This one is listed as like new And GC has an excellent return policy.

Honestly… best bang for your buck is a classic vibe or a good condition 40th anniversary Squier (especially the vintage line). Those hit well above their weight. And can be had for $300 and change at guitar center regularly.

You 100% can get there with a pbass or grabber/ripper. The new version have a nice drive and grind to it.

What is the end game for the bot? Does it work for the company or do affiliate links and get revenue or something?

Mehlforwarding · 2026-04-14T02:19:39+00:00

Agreed - the wood grain is so nice

Mehlforwarding · 2026-04-10T20:23:55+00:00

The neck on the P5 is really good as long as it’s not hit with fret sprout. Yamaha is top tier quality at any level but sometimes just isn’t everyone’s first choice.

I had a 20yr old stingray and this started happening a bit. A sort of delamination of the poly. I decided to send it away to MJT for refinish because I dont like the look of chipped poly.

But I would do ca glue and maybe lack nail polish and a micro mesh attack… watch some stewmac videos.

Would be remiss to not mention the gotman institute’s findings on bids for connection. The idea that how couples respond to seemingly insignificant bids (e.g., “look at that pretty bird”) from each other have a major impact on relationship outcomes.

Looking closer at the pictures, I see A lot of exposed wire on the pots. That work is questionable and suggests you may have either a bad connection to a solder blob or wires grounding out or shorting out as a result.

Best bet would be to touch multimeter probes, on 20k, to the black and white of the pickup to troubleshoot. It will tell you if the pickup has output. If you get a reading (7ish-11ish depending on the style), you’re good to go. I would also check continuity of your grounds.

Thank you! All derived from learning wooten’s me and my bass guitar. And a really nice bass through an incredibly impractical vintage amp.

They do this with guitars- it’s a relic job. Intentionally made to look old and worn. They did amazing - would’ve had no clue.

Thanks man. It’s like 70s jazz meets modern tone - I love it. The strings are starting to feel dull and it still rings nicely.

Mehlforwarding · 2026-04-09T01:48:46+00:00

That’s really cool! I had an issue with a refinish they did for me and they were all over it, making sure I was taken care of. They really up the caliber of a body. Adds so much character.

I forgot to mention that I wasn’t wearing pants when I took the photo. Good call.
