After my G&L experiences, I'd half forgotten that when you order and pay for a bass, it usually arrives. Really pleased.
After the wispy TRBX neck, the BB424 neck feels much more substantial: 2mm wider at the nut, 2.5mm thicker at 1st fret, 3.5mm thicker at 12th fret. The body feels much bigger, too, the cutaways having three fewer frets to reach. And the reward is in the tone - exactly what I wanted. BANG. (or do I mean CLANG?)
The strings have red silks and are as rough as £¥€&, so I'm guessing these are Rotosound 66s?
To sound like my idea of what a bass is the TRBX needed Chromes and its bridge pickup ignoring. This sounds right with rounds and both pickups on.
The condition is excellent (except for the whiff of B&H Silver) and I'm very happy with the price I paid (only slightly more than half of what the TRBX cost)
