60’s that. lovely thing.

Looks nice that

I got some Gotoh ones which are a nice fit - I was lucky and found a used set, but they’re not cheap new. Wilkinson’s are too big for the headstock dimensions

Been through loads of 5’s, the mine has passed 😉

5 strings - I’m safe

this is an unbelievable price for a great yamaha bb. if you were thinking about a 734a, look at this - it does all the same stuff and is “vintage” bb. PLEASE, someone save me from myself.

Ah plastic saddles - later, 66? god knows - don’t know gibbo bass half as well as fender.

Aye - nice vocals too. Like that eb3 - looks like a 62/63?

Sorry, replied while at a dinner party In a gazebo while the Manchester “summer” was in full swing. I didn’t think it was smartarsey mate at all. Apologies if my reply seemed terse - was trying to remain interested in the 100th time I’ve heard an anecdote about a 12 hour flight delay to a funeral in Ireland and the hilarious scramble to get there in time to find it was the next day…🙄 My wife tells it well, but even this time she looked pained as Mother in law pushed her to tell it again…

One of them is mine… *COUGH* 😩

Hmm, .5lb variance in 2 bits of alder…🤷🏻‍♂️, both a little heavier than stock due to bridge upgrade…

Greedy that 😉

I’ll play, been a while… Bb424x white 10lbs Bb424x red 9.5lbs bb414 orange 10lbs bb350f white 9.5lbs tune tjx4 - 7.3lbs. and the rest are out of reach so 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

See what I mean about the blue? both are googled images btw, my brother doesn’t take pictures of his gear hahah.

“I’m buying an AES500 in white like my brothers” has arrived here 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Actually stock on the aes500

Which @Maudemeans I’m now thinking of that for mine 😂

I’m going tort…but my brother has a collection of yamaha AES 500 guitars which used Black Pearloid (always looks a bit grey/blue to me). His White one (same as Bb424x white) looks awesome.

This spoon…this, smack on head.

My initial thought was about how thin that scratch plate would be at the edge - possibly ‘snappable’ 😂
