Why do these questionable (I.e. Fake) fenders always come from house clearances? Not a Fender of any format.

This - absolutely loved it. Made hairs on my arms stand up, having played this in several covers bands - I was really happy to hear this reworked version. Roisin Murphy is absolutely ace.

Cheers for this. Seems really positive, can’t deal with heavy though.

Haha, nah...just looking guv, honest..

Just spotted these, think they’ve been about for a bit. Nice P/J with Duncan vintage pickups. Anyone seen one out in the wild? I like the white one. Seem about £800. weird price point I suppose.

Weight, adjustability, sound acoustically and plugged in. I can now make the Casady play more like the solid body basses I have. Sounds better too.

Didn’t Nick Smith @doctor_of_the_bass have a hand in these?

Samick did this too - early 1990s SAKB model

I’m sure this has been sold on basschat before.

I’d guess warping in single piece necks is a 1/1000 if not less issue. Maintenance, correct storage and stuff like that... I owned a Jaydee with a multi laminate neck which was probably the least stable neck I’ve owned. 🤷🏻‍♂️

415 was orange... I really didn’t feel any benefit to a multi laminate neck. Same pickups, bridge, wiring, body woods, neck join... Same player, same basslines. In fact they were so similar, I shoved flats on the 415 and ended up not using it as much...but to justify taking the two to gigs. A bad multi laminate neck or a good non laminated neck... I do fancy a 424x just to have that pickguard/metal plate look. And red was the least dull colour they did.

But then again, I owned a 425/415 at the same time and liked both equally...and out of all of the BB’s I’ve owned - the 414 remains, and I preferred it to the “superior” 1024x. All subjective really.

Collect only. Shame - only realised it was collect after sending the link to @lee650

Hope that’s not the only finish available “post sprout toilet bowl” isn’t that appealing...

Must’ve been told to remove them...haven’t cleared up their Google ads yet though 😉

The 2024 had a lot of clever bits going on with the body join etc, more expensive to make. Too expensive probably - especially with the 1024 at about £600/£700 I suppose the p34 sits between 1024/2024 in real terms.

Hard that - sort of the 2024

Aye, and chrome bit.

Well...from initial destination to dealer.

My Japan Metroline is the same as this.

And I let them go. Typical

My SB-1000 had a dead pickup. I found an MB sized aria pickup from a “laser” model aria and had it fitted. Had exposed polepieces in a P configuration. I much preferred my SB-700 - it sounded like the setting I used the most on the 1000. God damn it. That 700...

Ratuia replacement pickup is a fair idea too - he makes all sorts and you won’t have to modify the body.

I wouldn’t personally. the preamp is a reversible mod. The pickup routing is not. Find a more battered aria for that. You've made me cry about my sb700. 😞

I just added a Babicz FCH-3 to a Jack Casady - the difference was massive. I have added badass 2 bridges to lots of fender basses and found there to be some difference, but how much of that was down to larger footprint of contact or added mass - I don’t know. I do think they look loads better than a bbot if nothing else.
