  1. 👋 Julien is a top bloke and very skilled in troubleshooting & all aspects of luthery (might have made up that word). He used to do the setup and tech work for bass gear in twyford and guitar works in Reading.
  2. I gigged one for years. Filled the room really well with a very loud drummer. I wasn’t ever delighted with the build quality of it but it sounded really good. It was a bit “wonky” with an irregular grill and the paint finish chipped off all the time. However, for the band I was in and the volume needed it really sounded ace.
  3. BB414 was the entry level bb in previous years. They pop up for bargainous prices. This was a Facebook marketplace find and I love it!
  4. Actually I’m sorted. Turns out my regular tech does custom scratch plates. Sorted!
  5. This bb414 is the gift that keeps on giving. Now strung with ti flats and I can’t BELIEVE how awesome it sounds. Setup adjusted and it’s just killer!
  6. Looking to convert my jazz to a pj, but will need a new scratchplate for the p pickup. I’d like it to be reverse mounted a la Yamaha bb or sandberg as I reckon it really makes a difference. Any recommendations? I doubt I’ll find one off the shelf.
  7. How long before hofner release period correct versions with a rounded back. I bet they’re creating the cnc templates already! They’ll be a flood of owners of the current reissue selling their basses as they’re not vintage correct to Paul’s bass.
  8. I’m intrigued. If you get a sec, can you post a pic of the bass? Looks really cool!
  9. Im equally glued and astonished. I get the feeling some of these are genuine never played, back of the cupboard guitars that are now worth x20 the going rate as they’re attached to the main man.
  10. 2nd one is the best for me.
  11. I know someone who is involved in thegeargiveaway and it’s legit. Can’t speak for this one.
  12. How did I miss this! Thanks! Yes I prefer the x as well but not a massive factor for me.
  13. Fascinating replies thank you. Very helpful to hear the X isn’t much of an upgrade.
  14. I’m thinking about going up a few quality levels from my bb414. I really like the pj tone, passive electronics, basically the bb414 but up a few levels in materials/ feel. Guessing I’m looking at 424x, 1024 models. Have I got this right? Budget up to 650+ whatever the bb414 is worth. Black model, upgraded bridge, good condition.
