The bb1600 has a more “shouldered” feeling neck, it’s a tiny bit chunkier - but not in an unpleasant way. Very much like the 1985 bb1100 I had. The 414 is slimmer and shallower like a flattened C shape - they reverted to the deeper feel on the 424… the body shapes are pretty much identical - slight variation on the treble cutout - about 5mm deeper on the older 80’s BB’s. The bb300 when I was a kid was a mega early Japanese one with the really shallow treble horn cut out. I don’t get involved in measuring necks/string spacing etc - I either get into a bass or I don’t, I never buy something just because of string spacing/nut etc. 😉

Think so. Something like that anyhow. Think it’s when I told them a rebadged Squier strat wasn’t a £1000 American standard strat… bless. 😂

My local crack converters closed down…now we know why…

Tenner sez you order that and get something totally different 😂

I’d take it. Although the 2021 gear in/out thread proves that I’m not a unique case…

Yeah - I’ve seen that too. About 4 months ago. It wasn’t shifting then either; some wild claim about it being the only natural one ever made, a “one off” - but the natural was a standard colour for the groove bass…

Me? Keep a bass? What jokes would the other basschat members pull out of their Christmas Crackers if I did that?! I have responsibilities, y’know?

Would cost £500 and make it worth…£4

I do think you’re oversimplifying things…

Meaning the yamaha looks unfinished? or The Aerodyne would be tempting if it was still available in shops? not sure I get what you mean. had a beer now 😂

Just sat messing… didn’t get out for the strings today as we had to do some running around for the kids… Maybe tomorrow.

I’d suspect as a lot start as custom orders…some of the specs are a bit odd.

Haha, the guy in the fedora on the left of that picture is my mate Paddy 🤣🤣🤣 He honestly gets where water wouldn’t…

I think my circumstance with the sabre wasn’t that I paid after closing on Saturday and they don’t open on a Sunday… Funnily enough, I saw the ad on Facebook and went straight to their site to buy. They only do 10-2 on Saturday too, in store.

Very John Deacon “Another One Bites the dust” I think that’s stunning in its simplicity; classic by name, classic by nature.

I’ve searched high and low from r that…no clue where it went.

😉

They don’t last long enough to wear clothes…

In my previous posts, it looks like an innocuous battleship grey… shine some light on the bugger and it turns into a rainbow…

The velvet jacket is worn by the 414

I’m not sure Talulah or Mabel could handle a sticker mate… ”how does she sound plugged in” what? have a word… in the realms of “plays like butter” and “L@@k!”

I do. Like the Hugh Hefner of the bass world. play them all…love some, regret few…

I wish I had the time/space/money to be a retailer. I have none of the above.
