Dave just bought a Roqsolid cab cover from me. legend. Really easy deal - he’s kept in touch and let me know when it arrived - mega handy. cheers mate x

Hahaha. Misbehave is my middle name… (it’s not; it’s Philip)

No intention of selling this - so please bear that in mind. Talking to @Maude about Yamaha BEX4C’s I’m only interested in the blue or tobacco burst ones. This bb450 is mid 80’s - basically an 1100’s without a preamp - depending on your experience of the bb1100s, might be the best of all worlds. came with a 38mm nut, which was incorrect and has been replaced with a bone 43mm (correct width). Came with wrong bridge, wrong knobs…all replaced with legit mid-80’s yamaha gubbins from my personal random stash of yamaha guts. (Parts from an 87 bb) It’s 34/35 years old so has some swirling and pick marks - but nothing structural or massive. Looks “pristine” from 6ft. It’s light. Like 8.5/9lbs Will come with a Ritter Classic gig bag. Genuinely only interested in a BEX4C. So in no mad rush. Thank you for looking, reading, enjoying and laughing at me. Love you too.-

Mrs Travis always seems to notice. ”you need bloody help you, why don’t you marry Yamaha and have done with it…”

Start a spreadsheet - see “for all the basses I have loved” thread. I don’t think I’ve updated that 😂 good Lord I’m such a balloon.
-
Yeah - always come up at the wrong time, like…a bb has just arrived and stolen some money…

Upset @Al Krowthat you’ve missed the following 415 orange 425x sunburst 424x sunburst 1300 blue 1100s burst (mk1) 1100s white (mk2) from my “had” list and 424x white 424x red 450 sunburst in the current stable. keep up Doris.

@Maude I had a blue BEX - wish I’d kept that bugger.
-
I had one on short term loan. much like Thunderbirds, it looked stupid on me - absolutely loved how it sounded and played.
-
I’d go for it - if you hate it (which I doubt you will) and sell for £300, it’s cost you £15 to find out you need something else. if you love it - (which I think you will) it’s a great bass for not much coin.
-
Just played mine for 20 minutes, lovely new string clang!
-
One thing I have in abundance is a willingness to be creative…the talent bit is elusive - I’ll find it one day (and probably keel over in shock) 🥴😂
-
haha. Sat drinking a 0% IPA after a mammoth restring session (dining table doubles as workbench 🤣)
-
“Orgasmic”? 🤭
-
They look ace in white - going to keep the black Pickguard on it…
-
Not unreasonable, if it’s in good nick. there’s not much at that price point which will touch it - it’d take more than £325 to get either of mine. but in the spirit of bartering - counter offer at £300 😂
-
The 424 has a bit less warmth, a bit more of a hollowed out sound… maybe that’s what I preferred when I had a 1024x and kept the 414. they look mega in white.
-
A 1600 is definitely the only bb I’m after now - the 3000/neck through ones I’ve played haven’t knocked me out. I really like the 424 on both pickups or bridge only.
-
What things sound like when I mix them 😂
-
Well…the single “Diamond Ring” is the highlight…the cover of “Bad” not so much…
-
My tinnitus basically makes my world have 60 Cycle hum…so, everything sounds “noiseless” to me 🥴
-
https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_basses/bb/specs.html all listed as single coil ceramic across the board…
-
I’ve not experienced much noise from the bridge unit.
-
Ah now you’ve said it - I thought I recognised him. yeah - just a bit more pop structure.
