Sold Sid some knob. he loved it, tight fit notwithstanding. Enjoy.

My mate Martin was in a band with Nicko before the Maiden days… They sacked him “because he wasn’t any good”. We ribbed him magnificently when Iron Maiden’s tour manager called me about a white Gibson ES-355 we had in stock and they sent a runner to purchase it (at £3500 or whatever it was) as one of the band fancied it. What a claim to fame though, “i sacked Nicko, he joined Maiden soon after”.

For envelopes I do - nice and clear for the posties to read.

Grim. Absolutely grim. sort of ashamed of you 😂

I want to know if the black 424 got picked up on the way home from a car service 😂 In other news, the bling is piling onto the Bb350f conversion

Joe bought some Machineheads from me - an absolute pleasure to deal with. Deal with confidence guys and gals - he’s a top man!

Bought some Gotoh bits off BagsieBlue, absolutely wonderful as ever. Thanks mate x

shocking. Send them Here for scrappage… I’ll send you a brand new Ibanez premium SR in return - you know it makes sense…

Slow slow progress this. It is still going

I have problems…

I found the truss Rod on the 424/425 to be a bit hyper responsive to adjustment, unlike the 414… I’d adjust the rod 1/8th a turn and wait 24hrs to see what that does - might just remove that relief a tad…

That’s definitely going to be done. I have one experiment to conduct first…having ogled a few atelier z basses recently

All is right in the world…

“Many have passed in the great BB wars…”

Yeah, absolutely- just not totally sold on the headstock but I could live with it for sure!

Ok, I know you’ve all been waiting 😂 (not really…but…)

Neil bought some knobs for his project bass. we’re talking big time here, over £4 was spent 😂😉 what a guy though - really lovely and it’s nice to sell to someone who’s posts I’ve been seeing for years. A Stand up BC member - as expected x

That’s actually really nice. What a shame it’s gone!

Yeah. I think it’s the fact it was marked as “signed for by Travis…” when no such thing happened. Luckily, it’s a nice enough area and I have neighbours who are lovely and work from home.

So - what’s surprising is that their listed condition as fair. A little dirty, but no dings or marks. Anyhow…what’s not ace is DHL/UKMail ”delivered” as in…left in the garden. Luckily, my neighbour (guitarist and drummer) was working from home…

Neck construction (5 piece nato/maple on 424 vs 1 piece maple on 414) Dual action truss Rod on 424’s single on 414 - no idea why on a modern ish bass… Through body stringing on 424’s and only top load on 414. that’s about it…

I really like my 414. Slightly flatter neck profile. Just love the pickups (the same models in both basses). And the 424x had the funky plate action going on. only liked them in red and white, so that’s me sorted… Now…the 350f dilemma needs to be resolved 🤦🏻‍♂️
