  1. I think the bb714bs was the same price as a 1024 ish when new, but it really is just a 414 with a funny pickup layout. Now plays brilliantly and is acoustically very good. Feels a bit more “direct” than the 414, not sure if that’s these 2 basses having variance or having a great whacking magnet near the neck join adding something.
  2. I think it’s a valid thing to do, a £400/£500 bb with a MM set up. A bass in its own right rather than a budget “sterling” by MM. my two bb’s sit in very high company and hold their own. The 1024x I had was lovely, but I preferred the 414
  3. Yeah, Yamaha need to make these
  4. Woooo
  5. Love the joker, love that
  6. I’m up to my eyeballs in j types...but I’d be tempted 😂
  7. somewhat unintentional...but they’re all MHS
  8. proper update
  9. Just bought a bass, I have an excess of hard cases. this needs to go. A fairly slim ABS type, has a small crack in one corner - would be fine for general use or as shipping case. Some tape marks but would clean off. £25 collected or £35 shipped in uk. ish - open to offers
  10. Just bought a bass - these 50-110 ropes were apparently fresh on it. they're not for me at all. £10 plus £2 postage offers encouraged ta
  11. Change the awkward double post into a “basses on the settee” post
  12. Well...now wearing 40-100 d’addario. wonderful thing. And I’m back up to 2 BB’s. 1600 next.
  13. Did anyone actually try/buy the last lot he did? the Ashdown basses are made in conjunction with DL, think these are much smaller batches/to order.
  14. Pfft. Willy rub.
  15. I now want a BB with just that double pickup where a MM pickup would be. I hope Yamaha read this and realise I’m worth a signature model.
  16. Sort of JJ/P - full passive but push/pull on tone pot. Think that’s some clever “extra bass” capacitor or something. currently still at work as I had to do a house visit on the way home and didn’t want to leave it in the car. Needs tweaking to taste, and I’ll be binning the strings off (50-110 😟) I have some fresh ones in the house.
  17. BB714BS Lava Red
  18. Well...
  19. The strap will separate the washer from the paint.
  20. I’ll buy some grolsch and send you the washers 🧐
  21. Just buy some grolsch
  22. Was just about to type “you spelled shite wrong”
  23. I got told £58 for a Yamaha BB guard effectively a jazz size by someone local
