    Which after party were you at? I think in my slightly foggy state I misread 11 as 1 :)

    Now on the input jack it shows 3 bands, Ground, - Battery and Output.

    The one supplied wont fit the bass so planning on keeping the one in it, but this only has connections for tip & ring. How do i go about this, just connect to the same part as the ring?[/quote]

    No, you need a stereo jack with tip, ring and sleeve. The spare one connects the battery earth to the rest of the earthing only when the jack is inserted (the mono plug makes the connection between ring and sleeve). You'll need to get a stereo barrel jack socket to replace the mono barrel jack socket you have currently. This is because if you connect the battery earth to the same terminal as the signal earth, the battery will be permanently on. It'll work, but you'll be replacing batteries a lot more often than you'd like.

    There's a good guide to their replacement (on G&L basses) here: [url="http://www.bassesbyleo.com/jack_replacement.html"]http://www.bassesbyleo.com/jack_replacement.html[/url]

    Yamaha BB414/614 neck width?

    in Bass Guitars

    Hi there

    While idly pottering around the wibbly wobbly web this lunchtime I found myself researching the Yamaha BB414/614 basses. They look quite nice, and are inexpensive enough to have a speculative punt, plus you'll probably get your money back if you then sell it on.

    One question I can't seem to get a definitive answer on is the neck width. I thought I'd ask the experts (that's you). Would someone who owns a 414/614 be so kind as to measure the neck at the nut and the string spacing at the bridge and let me know what they find, along with their general impressions of playing the neck?

    No immediate plans to strike, but if I do have a bit of slack in the funds in the next few months I might have a go at one of these, if the neck is right. People seem to say nice things about them.

    Cheers

    Matt

    Welcome to the forum :)

    Can't help you with your query though - try posting it in the Bass Guitars forum and I'm sure a 5 string expert will be along shortly.
