There were 2 blue 5 strings on Facebook buy/sell groups last month. One fretted and one fretless, they do crop up more than the 4’s to be honest (not that I’ve been looking 😂)

It’s a 424 that, spottted it, but prefer the 414 I have kept hold of. Lovely orange thing.

I’d say £50 would be £40 too much. Is that a Jim deacon neck on a west one body? 🤮

Keeping my eye out for a blue 4 and a “deluxe” which has a big pickup with clever switching.

Still at 4

Well...in my quest for another Yamaha BB414, I keep on finding these... Yamaha Attitude Standards. I went through a plus and a special - the plus being the most basic model, weirdly. The special being more like the Billy Sheehan version. These are great though. The Pink one is 1990 and the black one is 1991 (as far as I can make out) and they’re lovely. I’m not 100% on the BB knobs being on the pink one and might put the original chrome back on. the Black one needs a set up and i’ll Sort that tomorrow night. The neck profile is flat and wide, like a shaved p bass neck. The neck is bolted in about 1/3 of the way into the body, which means lovely access to all 21 frets and also adds a certain “set neck” snap to the sound. Standard pickups are nice too. Bonus.

Just got a black one too...

Offered you mine...‘‘tis on it’s where to meet my old bb1100

You can get Botox injections into your palms to stop that - saw it on “Embarrassing Bodies” once...

Yeah. A geddy if I remember. Have they swapped guitarists or something though? He was a lefty playing tonight and I’m certain the previous guy was a right handed?

The highlight of their recent output, the noteworthy mention from Bowman et al? He’s had his teeth done.

Watched 57 seconds of the killers. He really isn’t a good singer is he? Oh well, that’s glasto’s TV coverage done for me again for another year.

Do you know I had it on watch. But knowing others here are after it - I’ll not bother. im already in another bidding war. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Just buy one of these and have a local luthier fit it for you 😉

Yeah, if they have it it’s more or less next day, but their prices are ace.

There’s a great place for Yamaha spares https://www.btnmusic.co.uk/brand/yamaha-parts/ email them and they’ll sort you.

I always liked the mk2 in blonde. Nice looking bass

Behold. balls. Haven’t got €1000
