    [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1483347970' post='3206306'] They pretty much are - also could be considered variants of the B2 series. B bass bridge is different, pickups vary according to the model but, essentially, they are same meat different gravy. That is what interests me! [/quote] :lightbulb: Sounds interesting. I am trying to remember who I sold my B 5 to...

    When I played fives, I tuned a tone below E-C (so DGCFBb). I found the low D useful but low B not helpful with what we were playing.

    When I played fives I tuned a tone down from EADGC, so DGCFBb. It gave me an open low D which was about as low as I wanted to go (low B is just too deep for most things, IMO), and some extra range above. Worth a look.

    Now if that had been a fretless... ah well. Good luck with your sale

    I bought some strings from Nick - my third trade with him, which tells you what you need to know. No surprise that all went well, and I am a happy camper. Thanks Nick

    My reboarded fretless BEX 4 is my go-to bass.

    [quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1483315196' post='3206202'] Always loved the look of these basses but never been available when I've had the money. Sadly same again now What's the active feature (9v battery) for? [/quote] Piezo in the bridge. Preamp on the upper bout. ... and beaten to it by our man from Leeds

    Not a relic fan, personally. Other than that it looks nice

    I thought they were headed and headless versions of the same design... I will be interested to hear.

    What Bassassin said. But also, the Yamaha is passive. That may suit you better, or not.

    Seems to have switched hands

    Still at £300.. ending tomorrow.

    The bass looks nice (at least potentially), but I refuse to subsidise anyone who thinks that multi-coloured type is a thing...

    [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1483049024' post='3204455'] Such boundless self-belief. Wow, I'm almost jealous. [/quote] Let me guess... they're moving into the White House in January?

    Way out of my league, but very pretty Roger's a nice guy, too.

    I'd definitely put changes at the beginnings of bars, personally. But I don't write, and my cello is dusty.

    Never even knew they existed... not sure about that crack though.

    Saw them in Sheffield touring Sandinista (I think). They were OK; not exactly electrifying, but competent enough. Though I do recall Mr Jones havng some sort of snit... The bit I really disliked was the audience booing the reggae support act - can't remember who that was.

    [quote name='Harryburke14' timestamp='1481399967' post='3192094'] Will any fender-size neck fit this? [/quote] I'm not entirely certain, never having owned any. The pocket is 64mm wide and 18mm deep at the heel. Happy to measure other parts
