  1. 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.
  2. Has a look of this FSR from last year
  3. Aged white Pearl. Make it so…
  4. 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. 😉
  5. 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. 😂
  6. My local crack converters closed down…now we know why…
  7. Tenner sez you order that and get something totally different 😂
  8. I’d take it. Although the 2021 gear in/out thread proves that I’m not a unique case…
  9. 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…
  10. 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?
  11. Would cost £500 and make it worth…£4
  12. I do think you’re oversimplifying things…
  13. 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 😂
  14. Just sat messing… didn’t get out for the strings today as we had to do some running around for the kids… Maybe tomorrow.
  15. I’d suspect as a lot start as custom orders…some of the specs are a bit odd.
  16. Haha, the guy in the fedora on the left of that picture is my mate Paddy 🤣🤣🤣 He honestly gets where water wouldn’t…
  17. 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.
  18. Very John Deacon “Another One Bites the dust” I think that’s stunning in its simplicity; classic by name, classic by nature.
  19. I’ve searched high and low from r that…no clue where it went.
  20. 😉
  21. They don’t last long enough to wear clothes…
