Tidy BB424 on eBay for £230 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116256704571

Are you getting another 734A or sticking with the 400s this time?

Maybe it's one of those blessings in disguise. I've got three BBs but right now I'm very tempted by the endless sustain on the Cort A4 neckthrough.

You've been outbid, so get your sniper rifle out.

You might get it for £150 instead.

Agree 100%. with less trebly/"modern" pickups than the latest version

The end of line "special edition", to use the up the old stock, before the new model is introduced?

Ahhhhhhhh 👍

Maybe it's providence's way of telling you get a BBP34 😀

It obviously bothers you and compensation won't resolve the flaws.

I think this, or one like it, was sold on Basschat recently for £950 https://reverb.com/uk/item/57169514-yamaha-bb1300-1985-metallic-blue-mij

Yeah I'm not sure how well that matt black copes with fingerprints etc. Did you consider the BBP34 or were you definitely wanting the pre-amp.

What colour?

Just wondered if any BB owner who has also played a Dingwall D-Roc has any insights on how they compare and contrast? 🙂
