Machines

I reviewed one of these for Basschat ages ago (still available in Reviews forum but pics are gone). It was awesome, would totally be OK with having kept it.

You can get the BB614 fretless, I saw one in Hobgoblin Music (Birmingham) a few months ago for £175. If it was a better colour and not so roadworn i'd have had it, despite the fact I don't play fretless. Probably should have had it anyway and made a few quid on it's flippage. EDIT: You can get TRBs fretless too, but certainly not under £500.

Neck looks off, burst looks off. Sorry

If thats Gaz, hes now at Fair Deal Music.

Andy pointed me here for a BB425 pickguard. £30 Inc shipping and took 3 weeks.

Still waiting for the new sofa, so the floor will be a temporary replacement:

Ok it was early. It also has a Seymour Duncan 3 band preamp as a bonus.

Hobgoblin Birmingham had one for £175 a few months ago. It was pretty beat up and I passed on it.

It takes two to tango. You didn't HAVE to buy it. The irony here is I passed it up, Andy went for it and then I saw a Violinburst one 2 days later. That gets here Monday.

Yeah @AndyTravis where did you find this one ?! 🤣

Is it bad my initial thought was to do that in Photoshop ? 🙈

Drive towards Burton Upon Trent from Lichfield on the A38. There is a sign that says Bass Museum. Alas for the brewery...

Me too. I found the fret ends sharp, EQ overpowering and generally underwhelming.

Cool it has an headstock bottle opener.

It's speculation. Doesn't mean the actual for sale value will be that high. Remember the keenly priced stuff has already sold and you won't see it (unless you check eBay sold items!)

I would guess they don't fit (on purpose) - the 5 string definitely doesn't as pickup shape and lower section is different.

Looks good - will require drilling though I think ?

That's a bit like saying you should buy an ugly car because you'll be sat in it and can't see the outside.

I'd have bought one of these already, if it weren't for the giant bridge plate. There seems to be a significant lack of aftermarket replacements also (I know Retrovibe did some, but are long gone).

This is simple physics, i'm afraid. Can't be done without adding the weight a headstock would have had to the top, or drastically move the top strap point - probably to the middle of the body.

So I got my 8th bass Monday (which made it the 59th since 2002, I know this because i have a spreadsheet). It's a Line 6 Variax, as such has 24 basses inside it. Am I going to suddenly sell all of my others ? Obviously not, but maybe 2.
