I had an “ultimate” stand - it was wicked, loved it. it was expensive, about £50 Then after about 10 years - just standing, not gigged or packed down frequently or used other than as a stand…the locking mechanism just gave way and the bass took a tumble (don’t worry Basschat buyers it’s my fretless which I still own) - and I was gutted. I couldn’t fix it as the red locking part encapsulated the bolt and washer, so without destroying it - it was a lost cause. I need a double stand. I have a rack for 6, and I have 2 further instruments needing a house. Nope, need space for 9. FFS. Just remembered the bass I’m putting together and a guitar which miraculously appeared today.

Yours will have been a bbn4ii

Doing some “proper” recording with it today. Hopefully

I was in ‘nam, Man…you weren’t there…man vietnam? nah man…Chelten(h)am…

Nah. Like my BB’s with a big backside

Got all excited then. Collection only London… then I realised I have to get the purple paint for the 350, and I’ve just bought a £70 Gotoh bridge for the 424x and I need to grow up.

Spares are more fun…

Angle - regular thickness

Bbn4 (1) - that bridge is what I have on my bb414, they’re on these and the early attitudes. the 3+1 headstock caused EB to get hot under the collar and yamaha had to change it.

Theres a noodly bit which is just bridge humbucker. Think I added reverb. Slappy bit - single coils both on full vol/tone. sorry it’s scrappy - 3 year old playing up so - but yeah, It does a lot and it’s nice, looking forward to band context.

Just packing the kids bags for a trip to the beach tomorrow, and then I’ll give it a go

The spec sheet I have is in Japanese. And I will do sound samples shortly. And then a NBD thread I suppose…

I just don’t like the “humour”. Ive seen a few of his videos now, he’s obviously a good player. But I wouldn’t care if I never heard/saw him again.

Little bit of fettling today…ignore the table, currently in dispute with manufacturer/retailer over the state of it. enjoy the basses.

It’s a bit good. Like a Spector made by yamaha…bit of Jaydee in there…mad.

Update 4000… “We’re gonna need a bigger settee”

Yeah, £300 is 424 pricing, £500–£600 is 1024

they’re alright 😂

Then it’ll be there a good while - even if it was £300 less it’d be on the high side.

Been on a while, still £950?

No, seems to work through phone and Facebook - but he’s 100% legit and perfect. Happy to message you his details.

Yup, double bag - I always double bag…🤨

I always take 2, 3 if I have a fretless tune to play. I’ve had moments where I’ve bounced a string too much and needed to swap basses… mostnof the active basses ive owned have had passive modes - but only once has the crackle dead battery happened and that was at a soundcheck so managed to nip to a nearby Tesco for a new one. Ive had an amp Die onstage at the Deaf Institute in Manchester. That was grim. I don’t gig anywhere near as much now so don’t carry a spare amp.
