Help! Yamaha BBG5A Information

[DS3]

Basspeeps,

 

I need some help with finding information about my Bass.

 

I bought this thing about 3 years ago, and have just found out that the use of the controls (as I first understood) is wrong!

 

Anyone have a copy of the manual for this thing? Yamaha does not post anything either!

 

I would love to have the manual to know just what I'm doing with this thing.

 

From what I now know:

 

1. Has a volume (I think I know which knob)

2. Has a pickup balance?

3. Has a bass control?

4. Has a treble control?

 

I had all the while thought it had a volume, one bridge pickup, one mid pickup, and the tone control.

 

Let me know ok?

 

TIA,

 

DS3

The BBG5A is a cool bass. It has the Nathan East body design... THe G stands for Gold hardware, and the A is active. I have the passive version, so I can't tell you about the controls.

well you could test the pu selector by rolling it in either extreme direction ie. fully clockwise or anti-clickwise and tap some metal object at the pickups. the pickup which is on should register a loud thunk on you bass amp. don't know if this is good for you amp or not. then i'm sure u can figure out which is the bass and trable pots from then on no?
