Oh dear, they do a black one of these And a P Bird, equal

Certainly have some points there. I own an American Dimension Deluxe 1V HH. The neck is asymmetrical thicker at back than front. The compound radius board combines with that to make THE fastest neck I've ever played. The pup selector switch is so simple, pre amp is great, the pups go from smooth to aggressive. Nothing exactly revolutionary but a tremendous bass to play. The only reason I don't gig it more is because I prefer passive. Nonetheless, it's my 1st choice for home noodling

He's a bit strange this 'un. Apart from being deluded about the value of it, his tactics are strange. It was up twice at £1500, then a couple of times at £1100, then three times at £950. Obviously he's had no bids. So, no bids at £950 (at least £150 more than they are going for), think I'll put it out at £2k Think I'll put my Am Deluxe out at £1500

Careful mind, that mcnach geezer roams those parts

Been to Gretna, Ecclefechan, Edingburgh on bass road trips Hutton, so it's not out of the question

Cost of insured courier on bass sized stuff has pretty much doubled in the last 18 months. It (to me) has become a prohibitive amount to ask a buyer for. I'm also usually prepared to meet half way though

So do I. Oh well

Just browsing & came across this. Mine is the earlier version, 2014, the American Deluxe HH 1V. On the lower side of "medium" weight, perfect balance. The 5 position Strat style selector switch is a pretty good idea, especially with Vol then treb/mid/bass cut/boost, although I'm still not a fan of actives. Lot of tonal variations. Wasted on me, I only use 2! It is beautifully built & superbly finished. Now, the neck on this expensive beast (the replacement Elites are pushing £2k). Oiled neck finish, graphite strengthening, truss rod wheel. Normal 1.62 nut, lovely maple board BUT 9.5 radius at the playing end, 14" at dusty end. The back of the neck is deeper on the bass side, shallower on treble. I have NEVER EVER played a neck that encourages flying around on it as much as this one does. It just seems to make chords, tapping etc, so much easier & accurate. If only I had the stones to make such a delicious & expensive beauty passive

Ditch that crap black scratchplate Jose. And sell it to me Good work (as ever) by the way.

Absolute joy to deal with, quick, decisive & did what he said he'd do, when he said he would. Enjoy the build Rod & thanks again, cheers, Karl.

Don't forget used Yamaha, some excellent buys up to £200. Try & buy used, if it doesn't pan out, you should be able to minimise any losses. Have a look on the Facebook pages for stuff local to you, as well as here, Bumtree & FEEBay.

Tread warily, I've had 2 and they were both weighty, pushing 10lbs. I also didn't like the frets, think it was because they were very thin.
