  1. The coming together, I can get on board with… Fire? Kinky… Pitch forks? I’m not into that…sorry. 😉
  2. Give me chance - about 4-6 months is usual turnaround 😉🤦🏻‍♂️😂
  3. i blame @PatrickJ “sell all your other basses - you've found the one”
  4. I had one for a short while. Was really blummin nice…but I have an aversion to all black “metal” looking basses. Silly really.
  5. 1986, Japanese, rare as rocking horse poop. Acquisitions mean it’s clear out time…not every day you accidentally buy a musicman sabre. I say accidentally… Anyhow, this bass is special. Identical to that of Tony Kanal’s “Tragic Kingdom” bass Its in very good condition for its 35 years, some buckle pressure marks on the back and tarnishing to the gold hardware. Will come in a TKL padded Gibson Bag - and will have spare pickup surrounds and a few other golden yamaha bits. I’ll get some stick for listing this - and all those who’ll give me stick will know that I just don’t hang on to gear. wearing played in GHS boomers…still a bit of life left in them… collection is preferred, but I would ship at buyers risk and cost - I suspect due to value it might be about £45. £925 NYE price drop
  6. Bought as “unused since the day it was bought”. Stands to reason its in 9.9/10 condition. One tiny mark on the back - I didn’t spot it so it may have happened in my ownership. I have swapped the bridge pickup for a Fender noiseless vintage model, when I surveyed others experiences of Aerodyne basses, the main comment was that the solo’ed bridge pickup was noisy. I also don’t feel much towards the stock chrome strat type knobs, so got some Fender pure vintage jazz knobs. All original parts will be in the deal - pickup was de-soldered at the pot, not just randomly hacked out… Also on the way is a padded fender bag as it came with the original box and nothing else… wearing brand new d’addario 45-100’s. I will include the (still ok) fender strings. Sounds warm, very clean. Collection is preferred as I’d hate a courier to have a pop at something so “new”. but shipping can be done at risk and cost. Sent a bass today £35 unsured in UK.
  7. Has a look of this FSR from last year
  8. Aged white Pearl. Make it so…
  9. 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. 😉
  10. 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. 😂
  11. My local crack converters closed down…now we know why…
  12. Tenner sez you order that and get something totally different 😂
  13. I’d take it. Although the 2021 gear in/out thread proves that I’m not a unique case…
  14. 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…
  15. 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?
  16. Would cost £500 and make it worth…£4
  17. I do think you’re oversimplifying things…
  18. 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 😂
  19. Just sat messing… didn’t get out for the strings today as we had to do some running around for the kids… Maybe tomorrow.
  20. I’d suspect as a lot start as custom orders…some of the specs are a bit odd.
