Just wasn’t meant to be. back to back rehearsals with this and a BB told me all I needed to know. if I was a rich man, I’d keep it for a “nice thing” to own. and in reality, I’m not as rich as I think I am… And it’s way too lovely to sit in a rack for the days I have more than 15 seconds to play. Much the same story with the tune bass I’m selling.

It’s an absolute beauty. mine really is “old faithful” - for a bass to last more than 5 minutes near me is a miracle.

I chose a 414 over a 1024x. I stuck with my 414 over a 424x (well, 3 in fact). The real test would be 414 vs 2024 or bb1600, which is what the 2024 is most closely related to.

Aye, light (sub 9lb) BB’s are few and far between.

Gonna rub one out over that. is there a badge for that?

The green p/j absolutely caught my eye. then I realised the preamp would end up in the bin and I’d possibly change the pickups. So…it’s a no. And, the horizontal burst finishes work best with maple, the jazz in the ice blue metallic with maple board is only available in the 5 string. the list goes on.

Wow. Basschat did a brain fart.

No. No. It’s staying. I’d want £7000 and a Wal to swap. sb-55 off to @briansbrew tomorrow have offered the 350 fretted to a select few and blue Tune is now listed everywhere in the world ☹️ Still on the fence with red. Clever bass that.

Has it been checked and resealed? Just thinking it’d be a nightmare to Wait and find any shipping niggles…and then it’s been 6 months and the shop won’t take it back etc…

Yeah. Have had a few over the years.

Just restoring bb content…

Well…yeah

Modern player jazz had them on the mk2 version

I had one of those…very, very nice bass.

That’s the one I’d have

They look good, I’d like to have a go first. if it’s anything like the RB as I really liked the one I had.
