Exactly what pushed me in to getting my BB435 this week.

I had one of these a few years ago, when i got my Lakland DJ5. Very nice bag although i wasn't keen on the look, nor the weight.

Well i went straight to the source and Mikey C. sent me two for free when they first came out 🙂

The bags are very nice. Not sure they are worth £60, but still better than average. If you want to swap yours for my Gator let me know. The Sire bags are a bit slimmer which is handy.

Or use the Sire gig bag 😉

Yeah, that headstock is just plain wrong lol. The extended headstock also makes putting these basses in normal sized gig bags a bit of a challenge.

Definitely looks worth the effort. Love the colour scheme.

Good point, and if you do decide to sell it i can give you the other £45 with a clear record 😂

Well 40mins ago i posted i was done, im now already thinking about the VTBass DI lol.

Ill sort something out over the weekend. Has anyone changed the tuners on a 434/5 bass? I cant see anything wrong with the ones on mine, but id like to get something less shiny, and maybe a touch shorter. They look like Hipshot HB7's but ill have a measure up when i get home.

Well i could borrow yours until Jan st 2021 and then pay you 😉 I might buy one though, im about to sell 3 pedals to a mate so that would cover it.

Now that im in you've blown your chance of selling me the VTBass DI next month. You will have to give it to me and i in turn will donate a small amount of money to a charity of your choice 😉

I think he did with the first thread lol. Ok, im in. Took delivery of a bass today, and brought an amp in Jan so thats me all sorted............😂

Perfect, thanks for the info.

Yeah, i saw that. im a bit confused about the second bit though. Wasnt sure it it was saying to get the most benefit, or that that you dont have to buy the whole kit.

Ive just tired looking to get a pair of the old style Schaller black buttons, but cant find any (genuine ones at least). Im happy to buy the new version if i have to (i did have a set a couple of years ago). Does anyone know if the new buttons will work with the old style of strap lock? All my basses have the old style on them so dont want to change the strap end if i can avoid it. I know the old buttons work with the new strap part but cant figure out if it works the other way round.

Ive just received my BB435. First impressions are very good. Fit and finish seem to be good (always a worry), and the weight is 9lbs. I love the dark burst finish. I can see me using this much more than my P34. I guess Ill sell the 425 at some point.

Well its all in the manual so shouldn't be a mystery 😉

I noticed last night as i was playing my BB425 that ive strung it through body, which is what i normally do. It struck me that i wasn't taking advantage of the extended B part of the bridge. Just wondered if anyone had compared the two methods of stringing the B string and if there is an advantage to stringing through bridge.

Yep, we arent talking about those heads. This thread is not about the MB Fusion heads.

No. Max you can get is 450watts in to 2ohms, 300watt in to 4ohms.

RED!!! they were RED, not pink....😂 Im not keen on the Gen 1 knobs but i do like the Gen 's.

Good point. I could also ask them to change the neck for a maple and re spray the body with a sunburst finish 🤔

That was before i came round to your Bass emporium lol. To put that in to context, i felt the neck and pliability was spot on for me. The bass is other respects isn't perfect, but for me the ability to play it and feel comfortable and not limited on is was the point i was making. If the P7 had been the same price as the BB435 i just brought id have gone for the Sire without a second thought.

But the black or teal version is only £479. Agree though, it’s probably a random figure as they will match other stores, and don’t have one anyway.
