    Sooo. Flats for Black - I seemed to recall a set of fender flats I had came with Black silks, went to collect a second case/rack thing from local PMT and picked up some fender flats… green silks. its ok, I’ll live. i have oiled both fingerboards too as they looked dusty rather than rich. both look gorgeous now. worth 5 mins taking the stings off.

    1100s is a belting bass - I’ve had 2. I preferred the earlier one with the squared pickup surround. Also had a bb450 which is the passive version
  3. AndyTravis
    I had a bb1600, the 414 gets close - just doesn’t feel as special… similar sound quality though.

    Ace work to all. i forgot to submit planned entry because i was too busy being ousted from a band i didn’t really want to be in…😏 voted - but they were all really cool takes x

    Imagine if I’d bought a blue to defret… I haven’t. 😆
  6. AndyTravis
    Yeah. I want to say 41mm

    The 414/614 necks are shallower than the 424/1024/2024 but single action truss rod

    Been with me for years. It’s seen off every BB I’ve ever owned. Still needs a fret dress 😣

    Nah - plays great, looks ace - was a bargain, needs love. It’s home now. Yeah - the usual sparky bridge pickup seems lifeless/dark. will open it up…at some point. I’m sure it’s just a wire on the wrong doofer on the switch. etc.

    Busy day…
  11. AndyTravis
    Done

    Great white BB414 at ridiculous bargain price = happy me. apparently needs some electrical fettlement…but it looks balls ace.
  13. AndyTravis
    Ooh tort… have they got an e-mail address?!
  14. AndyTravis
    No business being this nice at £150 even at £500, as people have said… well. There we go.
  15. AndyTravis
    Ah. Ok. I got free postage…weirdly
  16. AndyTravis
    Have they gone up £7?!
  17. AndyTravis
    I will be checking them over tomorrow - if they’re workable… black is getting a tort guard and flats. they’ll live at the studio.
  18. AndyTravis
    Is it a 2 octave neck?!
  19. AndyTravis

    Sod it. Live once.

    The BB1600 - I regret selling that over any other bass. It was exactly as per TK’s - I even used to buy GHS boomers for it because I’m a sad little fanboy. I will say, a well set up 414 is comparable…but doesn’t feel as nice.

    34”
  24. AndyTravis
    Nah, think that’d be a bit cheeky… “hey, i just quit the band I bought this bass for…can I have my money back?” 😆

    Literally collected this last Tuesday from Bass Bros. I chose it over 2 other honeyburst SR5’s as it sounded and played better than the others - it also has that slightly mellower honeyburst rather than the starts red/yellow that the later versions seemed to have. I bought it for a band which I’m apparently no longer in because I called some shitty behaviour out. I don’t need a 5 string. It’s ace but I don’t need it. It’s got some marks/dings (it’s 27 years old…), the worst of which is down by the strap button on the butt of the bass - it’s had some refinish applied o it and once the strap is on; you’d never know. it’s 9.8lbs. So “light” for an SR5. it has a beautiful Birdseye neck. Very sad it’s not staying but I have no use and really don’t want a reminder of the band it was bought for. I don’t really want trades - but I’m easily swayed; I’d like money my way if possible. comes with a hardcase and a brand new set of d’addario 5’s (it has brand new strings on). can ship in UK for £20 collection preferred. some pics are from BB site - more will follow when im not heading to bed - including the obligatory name/paper shot.
