It’s here. I confirm…it has a weight. needs my preferred strings etc and a tweak to my taste. it is lovely

I’m off work now until new year. I want to watch it again…

Interesting

Oh god… Tune TXJ-4 in and out Dean edge pro in and out Yamaha bb350f x 3 in and out Yamaha Bb424x x 3 in and out Yamaha bb450 in and out Yamaha bb1300 in and out Yamaha bb300 in and out Yamaha SB-55 in and out Spector Euro LX in and out Yamaha Pacifica (one in, one out) Yamaha AEX in and out Alvarez Baritone in and out cordoba classical in and out Tobias Toby Pro in and out (tomorrow) Sadowsky HPJ out ebs 410 out ebs Reidmar out Yamaha bb1600 in Fender Aerodyne in Musicman Sabre in Fleabass (green toy thing) in Ashdown mk500 in Vanderklay 212 in ahem. I think that’s about right.

Vista Series (guitars not basses) I think. Venus and Supersonic (think the music master basses were Chinese?)

I still have the originals 😉

In blue? Can I?

Yeah. Blue. Definitely blue.

Hmm. well… Another option is to list both and keep whatever doesn’t sell 😂

Got the 414 which is remarkably close to the 1600, sonically…just doesn’t feel in the same league…

Can do that. Will sort. Mrs T is out tomorrow getting her first (and hopefully only) tattoo which means I’ve got loads of time.

Yeah. Need exact same brand and age strings on them…

So, I’m about to receive a bass I’ve been chasing for a while (Musicman Sabre Classic) And I have an abundance of posh P/J’s. And realistically, won’t see as much action as the other - I’m not skint, but not wealthy enough to have several £1000 basses hanging around unused “just in case”. Yamaha 1986/Japan - warmth (acoustically) and that old resonance only 30 years or so can bring… Fender 2014/Japan - snaps acoustically, slimmer neck…sounds phenomenal plugged in, silent. Yamaha has 60 cycle hum on solo…but loves a bit of drive… Both Japanese, both “rare” BB1600 is worth more…

Eww

Wish I had enough in the pot for a Wal 😉

I was that fast to press buy, I beat the internet 😂

The SGC bass collection basses really impressed me. Lovely things. Shockingly, I’ve never owned one - but have owned Godlyke and Tune basses - of a similar ilk.

I dunno… has a charm… no, sorry, can’t lie…it has no charm. it’s vile.

There is a queue… every single person in the queue “I KNOW HIM SO WELL!”

Sabre tomorrow ☺️

Well! Yup. i have 1 of the small BB knobs too, in a draw somewhere. Spotted one was pretty cracked.

The good thing is that the 35DC size has sort of become a bit of a “standard” size… Aguilar Duncan Nordstrand all seem to do that size. Snappy/Bright suggest that something single coil might help. Or at least something you can split the coils on if you want. if it plays well, and you like it…worth the outlay. Especially as Lefty’s are a bit weak on choice for nice basses. The Fame ones seem to vary in price - if I rightly recall, a few have sold here.

If you can find a bb414, 424…easy

Where am I looking Bri? Have missed a link somewhere
