They just do a few other colours, just in case for some bizarre reason people don't want a vintage white one. 😉 I do like the look of the teal 434 though, oh yeah and the orange 414 is amazing, the black 424x looks great too. Ok ok, but vintage white is the best with a black scratchplate.

I've got a pair of these in a Jazz bass with a series switch. Powerful, punchy, burpy jazz tones individually but seriously huge sounding in series. Great pickups.

Well saying that, I'm only assuming that's how offers on a auction style listing works. Offers on a 'Buy It Now' listing is to make a lower offer than the asking price. I'd assumed newer feature of offers on an auction style listing is ebays way of making sure they get their cut from auctions that are ended early when someone offers an amount the seller is happy to accept. So presumably the offer has to be higher than the starting bid. Reading that back, maybe I'm overthinking this. 😁

That's offers above the starting bid to end the auction early. I'd want to pay £75 below the starting bid.

I used black shoe polish, the liquid type with a foam applicator on the top, to do an early 70s case a few years ago. It worked really well and has held up nicely, not rubbed off on anything or gone weird. It went on and dried nicely, no streaks or anything. Ignore the white flecks, I don't know what that is in this picture, the case is an even jet black.

I had that one in my watch list, ended unsold last week. £450 starting bid is a bit steep though isn't it?

Maybe a Hofner style floating bridge would work, they're 14mm from memory. Or a Squier Bronco has a 17mm bridge.

The natural 400S went for £230 inc original case. It looked lovely. Had active EMG pickups fitted so not original, but I'd imagine would sound great.

Someone's only gone and had it away! Cheeky bleeders.

Not looking, not looking not looking... ... Er, maybe just a quick look.

No that's Jefferson Airplane. 😁

I used to gig with a bi-amped rig and an Akai Unibass pedal. The highs went to a 4x12 cab, the lows to a 2x15 cab and the distorted octave up plus a fifth above went to a Line6 guitar amp. Absolutely rediculous... ... but immense. 🙂👍

You're right, and I did actually mean to put that. Freudian slip? 🤔 😁

69 Tears - Question Mark & The Mysterians (or The Stranglers)

This seems to have gone unnoticed. I've no experience of any of the newer series of BB's so can't help but hopefully this reply will stir a response from someone who has.

There's also a natural BB 400S, ends tomorrow.

0:46 Bb to C, not going above the third fret, on only the E string? 🤔 My bass must be tuned wrong. 😁

Better crack on and buy it quick then! 😄

Ooh, Marcus Miller has an ugly sister.

Boris: There's not a fuel shortage! Man on forecourt: I say there is Boris, and I should know, I've seen a few. Crowd: Hail, fuel shortage! Boris: There's not a fuel shortage! Will you please listen?! There's not a fuel shortage, do you understand?! Honestly! Woman: Only a true liar denies his untruths! Boris: What? Well what sort of chance does that give me? All right then, there is a fuel shortage! Crowd: There is! There is a fuel shortage! Boris: Now, f**k off!!

I've just properly set up my 424, the works, nut slots, neck relief, saddles etc, and have just spent a couple of hours playing it. It really does play like a dream now. I balanced the pickup heights to get everything even between pickups and across the board and I really like how the reverse P mod has turned out. Lovely warm, punchy top end. I plugged in a chorus pedal and played along with far too much Joy Division, it really does those melodic lines on the G string with the D string droning to a tee now. Which has upped my gas for a BBPH now. This mod was supposed to quash that need. 🙄😄
