@bassfan that 424 is ace

You still won’t like it in a while 😂😉

@TheGreek business venture for us. I’ll drink em, you market them as “the original washer strap lock” easy.

Use them on all of mine except one - only because it shipped with schaller ones which I’ll be taking off. i used to use Dunlop’s but they stick out a lot

Will the original screws not fit into those buttons? Still keep the locking mechanism but use the epiphone screws? or, use some grolsch beer bottle washers and don’t bother with the screw in type.

No, she’s a regular visitor to hospital. 😉

Sounds brilliant. Just need to take a bit of relief out of the neck, the action is fairly normal, but I want it a bit lower. Think the attitude is at risk 😧

Well I won’t get the chance to do much with it tonight. Iris is restless/fed up so it’ll have to wait as the sound of a bass isn’t what she wants...I can just tell.

She’s a frequent flier 😉

Just setup and a few details. spent all last night at A&E with Iris so not had time and I’m very, very tired (3 hours sleep in 36, so maybe I should go to bed)

Looks finished, it’s not. Has a snag list. But it plays.

You’ll fall out of love with it...😉

Right after a traffic jam and two very upset little travs needing sorting for bed, I’ve no time tonight...missed my own deadline. got two new drummers coming down tonight and I won’t have time to finesse things before I have to pick up the guitarist (his car is currently being sold for scrap as the engine is gone and it’s worth less than a new engine...he plays a £4000 Les Paul and a £2000 tele through a £1500 amp...but has a £400 car 🤷🏻‍♂️) so. attitude and orange 414 as per. Not exactly a hardship.

When dealing with @bigsmokebass a sense of humour is “key”.

When @bigsmokebass sends you Machine heads, he throws in 80’s sweets. (might just be for me...not sure...)

You won’t like it - send it to me 😉

Nowt much to report, just sorted the mudbucker I’d cocked up while the Mrs was getting ready to go out. spliced the wire, re-soldered and heat shrunk. Quick test. All good. think I’ll get it to rehearsal tomorrow as long as the postie gets me my machine heads.

This looks belting if anyone wants an 1100s. pangs of regret as it’s the same model I had and sold, mid 80’s one. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/560700057784740/

I think I’d like the 1000. Still...I’m waiting for the next 414 before looking at anything else.

Used John a couple of times now for looms and mithered him a lot more. Absolutely love his work. The level of craftsmanship is second to none.

Yeah, they’re pretty old basses now and yellow with age.

https://www.cashconverters.co.uk/shop/product/yamaha-bb414x-bass-guitar/48619 this is a fair price but it’s not wine red enough for me

White is a heavily modded bb5000 (what a shame 😢) yellow is a bb2000 I think.
