I'm being lazy as I could look it up, but are the nut widths all the same, just the profile different?

Are the 414 necks slimmer than the usual BB necks of that series?

I saw that white one for sale, some kind of phase issue iirc. Looked like a bargain. 👌

I wonder if it's the same red finish as the BBPH. I'd assume so as that is the same deep red indoors/bright red outdoors kind of difficult to photograph finish.

As far as I'm aware the 734/5 is the only BB to get the dark brown to black sunburst rather than the more traditional sunburst with the reddish hues like the P34/5. Like you, I much prefer it. As you say, it's very classy. I think I still prefer the range before this, but if I want a modern active then this is it... just behind the BBPH 😁

Just a teaser on the coffee burst. An old photo with a BB pin badge that our guitarist bought me as a little birthday gift. 😁

I have a coffee burst 734 and it's a great colour, even better in real life, but there's just something special about the new red and green ones. Classic vintage BB colours.

Thanks for posting that, I'll watch it later today. I saw Pantera back when touring smaller venues was still a thing rather than three massive gigs. A Friday night in Plymouth on the last date of their UK leg. Absolutely brutal assault on the senses. Couldn't avoid the moshpit as the venue was the moshpit, and why would you want to anyway. To be fair Downset got the place all riled up anyway, the atmosphere was electric and just got better when Pantera came on. Ahh those were the days.

I'm lost for words. So sad and a real loss. May I be so bold as to quote the final line of a beautiful post to Sam by @Dad3353 in the depression topic, a line which I think would echo all of our thoughts... "Thank you for your participation on this Forum; we are all the better for it."

What a pain! Those LaBella white tapes are really chunky. I had to file the nut of the bass I had them.

Ha ha, that's exactly where my two came from. 👌
