Mint nick, pains me to sell this one as I always lusted after the original BB 2000s and this is the closest Ive got yet. Yamaha blurb: BB414 combines classic passive electronics and legendary BB design to create a bass ready for action. For more than 20 years, Yamaha BB Series basses have been the workhorse for some of the world’s greatest bassists. Through the years, these players have relied on Yamaha's BB Basses to deliver that deep, warm thump that has become the hallmark Yamaha bass sound. The BB414 features a solid alder body with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Electronics include a custom voiced ceramic soapbar-style bridge pickup, a split coil neck pickup, a toggle selector switch and speed knobs for master volume and master tone." £200 Plus postage, no case but will be packed very well. Cheers Dave -
Thanks for the comments everyone, heres a new picture with the new neck and slightly larger earlier 70s logo. -
Hello I put this together after joining a Floyd tribute, and Im a sucker for 70s style P basses, but am now looking to build a 62 alike, so THINKING about moing this on if there is any interest. Its an Alder Body £65 Mighty Mite Neck £99 Fender 70s Machines + Hipshot D Tuner. £65 Fender F plate and gasket £22 CTS pots, Switchcraft Jack and cloth wiring, £17 Custom Guard £35 Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage PUP £39 All paint by Dave Wilson (dwguitars) £280 The only change is a WD brand new Fender neck due to a truss rod fail in the Mighty Mite one. A Further 270 inc paint and fit etc. No idea what to ask so will pitch it at 500ish? Would cost you more to build it and it is WAY beyond the spec let alone the quality of the RW Sig. the bottom out of this thing is HUGE! I have a real 70s P and this has as much bottom Cheers Dave

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1177126' date='Mar 26 2011, 12:29 PM']Cheers Dave! Do you know the impedance of the Burmans, by any chance? Ta for the PM too... I'll have a chat to Tim, but I'm about to be away for a few days.[/quote] No hurry mate, let me know as and when, I will ask Phil monday but at a guess 8 ohms at 50 watts

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1176991' date='Mar 26 2011, 10:24 AM']Yeah, I think that might be the next course of action. It only started playing up towards the end of the session, so we didn't have much time for muckin' aboot.[/quote] Hi Owain Sounds like they are gonners. They voice coils start to drag when they get over hot, they may stop when they have cooled but it is unlikely, It usually sounds as you have described barky, scratchy etc, which is the expanded coil catching the sides of the magnet on its travel. If you want to test the damage, place the cab on its back and push the coils gently by hand and if you can feel it catching then its buggered. If you cant move it at all then it has welded itself to the magnet, This has happened to me before when i lent my monitors to an ex student for PA hire, how he manged to blow 2, 15 inch monitors capable of handling 500 watts each and not realise at the Head of Steam is beyond me Tell Tim, Phil Poolan at work has an old pair of Burman 12s which he has no use for. Cheers Dave

[quote name='gary mac' post='1165090' date='Mar 16 2011, 10:34 PM']Think you might have to steal some more mate, took me ages to sell mine on here. It eventually went. Another BC'er recommended that I put it on the bay, as these are quite sort after in some parts of Europe and you may well be able to get a better price.[/quote] Yeah ebay it, I got 60 for my S1000HD

My power amp has a low level buzz/noise (on both channels) that is inaudible when playing through it but is irritatingly obvious when not. I have had a trusted engineer friend look at it, he cleaned the board and pots but there is no obvious component failure. Any idea? Cheers Dave

[quote name='famstd' post='1142385' date='Feb 26 2011, 02:49 PM']I recently had a Fender Roger Waters P Bass, it didn't have the shine of yours. Good hunting on your neck quest.[/quote] I put the quality of the finish purely down to Dave Wilson (75Jazz) and Im thinking of a WD neck which are only £99 new. [quote name='merello' post='1159269' date='Mar 12 2011, 01:39 PM']Absolute stormer of a bass![/quote] Cheers mate.

[quote name='gary mac' post='1160110' date='Mar 13 2011, 04:01 AM']Thanks Nick. Yes it did turn out well, I want to do another now, probably a 70's jobbie.[/quote] Turned out well is a bit of an understatement mate its gorgeous And a 70s "jobbie", is that one of those very dry white ones found in the parks of your youth?

The only tasteful and really functional slap i can think of.
