Wow.

Yeah. Also the 1200 was in trans “bottle” green.

Here’s me trying to be diplomatic

Well, 2 days on - no reply with the information I asked for. Great business skills.

Hahah. I will talk with Dave Wilson.

It’s a beauty. That’s purple and LPB app at once!

Not for me, I’m all about the metallics...

I know this sounds daft...if I’m paying for a refin, I want it to be something not seen from the factory... Metallic green and Purple up there massively. I am soft when it comes to blue basses though. My car is blue, I buy blue things...all stems from an early memory when dad had what was effectively a LPB mk2 escort ghia. Sad, I know.

As an aside - had anyone got 4 of these in a draw? I had 2 spare sets and sold/used them so I’ve got a couple of parts but not a workings set. These have been replaced on the 350f. Another option is hipshot/gotoh lollipops.

Yeah...yeah. Can’t go wrong with LPB.

Won’t do matte ever...for reference a bb300 refinished in LPB

Refinished bb800

The green would be metallic - but like the bottle green bb1200’s. Or the purple, like the bb5000 rarely appears in. LPB is done - I’m still waiting on remortgage to be done and then I’m talking to @marleaux62 about his 1300. and Burgundy Mist...not sure, had a bass in that before. Matching Headstock is being done too, and then a decal.

So I’ve just sorted the bb350f discussed above. Frets will occur first. Then Ive got to Sand the red paint off and make a decision. here are options currently LPB, Sherwood Green, burgundy Mist,Royal Purple...

415WR - looks like it’s in good nick under there.

Yeah. Needs a bloody good clean. In current state it’s a £150 bass at best. Cleaned and set up/restrung and sparkly...possibly £250-£300. I mentioned this in another thread about the efforts of a well known shop in Manchester. ”it’s vintage” ‘oh right mate, just looks filthy...’

The pickup, controls and output are all on the same module. So you could, but you’d need 2 cables And 2 amps.

My tune is 7.5lbs. A bit “too” light. My Jack Casady is 8lbs with a high mass babicz bridge thrown in the mix. 9lbs is about my limit too...

They’re a different breed the older BB’s, £250 would be my limit really for a bb300

It’s hard to see in the photos, but the finish was peeling away - the more I think, the more it looks like it’s been exposed to damp. Never good.

There’s a nice bb300 in black on Facebook currently. Bit rich at £300 but to be fair it’s in good nick and worth every penny. Early Taiwanese I think due to shape - seller says 81 (I’d guessed 84/5) https://www.facebook.com/groups/184621401586617/permalink/3885984948116892/
