I worked in a guitar shop for years. there was a guy, and to be fair I cannot be certain he was really on earth at all times. referred to guitars as ”naughty minx” ”sultry mistress” ”dirty little biztch” and described a tube screamer pedal (pronounced TOOB) as “the g-spot for valve amps”

“Isn’t she a beauty?” ’nah, fcuk off mate’

A guitarist magazine CD since referrrd to an amp as “little rascal” or “little scamp” - I never bought it again.

No. Nor do I refer to cars or basses as “she”.

Monosynth for me too. Nothing that exciting for me...

“HI, I’m the bass player - I’m here about that snapped g string?”

Mega reasonable, for the amount of creativity and work he puts in (he’s helped me with loads of stuff) - he’s a lovely bloke and we’ve gone from aquaintances to friends (well - I’d like to think, he probably calls me a cnut to anyone who’ll listen). he’s on here as @timal - but I’d assume he’s very busy 😉

There’s no end to the man’s talents

Yeah, definitely an option, will try them together at rehearsal and see which is livelier - will keep that for rounds, my gut says the white one has a brighter edge.

I genuinely wouldn’t use the one in BEAD, and I’ve just discovered that the passive mode works without battery...so no “I need a backup” excuse...

Just been playing the white 1100s. Theyre going nowhere. The 434 would have to be mind blowing love at first sight stuff to cost me either of the 1100’s.

Would love to compare the 434 to a p34. could end up in a big BB yard sale 🤔

No I use the preamp...but I’ve just bought an NOS Yamaha NE-1 eq. So they can all be active 🤔

I’ve got a few padded levy’s ones. Unfortunately made out of something dead. I’ll look into the other options. Debating the growing number of BB’s and. My now unused Jazz bass...what am I doing with all of these basses...think I need to seek out a BB p34 and have done with it.

Used too - suits my back to wear them higher though as I am prone to issues.

His twitter page says he’s a bass player and the tallest man in the world. he’s got quite the discography too - obviously a very busy guy.

I actually think the bb300 looks quite petite for a “broad bass” but yeah - he’s a big lad

well im 5’10 and 14 stone, so he must be 6’5 at least.

Yup. That’s him. ”RBTX, RTX...” ”and this bb has a six bolt neck which sounds like a neck through but still like a bolt on”

The guy on the only video I’ve seen had a difficult time discussing the basses, he said trbx wrong 3 times and gave really amateur explanations between differences etc. probably the drum guy roped in for video. nothing posted other than that, officially...

They will only be double sided on, it’s to do with my brain being used to fenders with a PG.

Has anyone tried a 434 yet, are they satin necks? Are they as rough feeling as the 234 I tried - felt unfinished rather than satin.

Keep on staring at these...434 in teal.

Just got a battery for my scales... weighed all the bb’s. bb1100s Sunburst 1987 - 8.8lbs bb1100s White 1988 - 9.2lbs bb414 Orange 2000’s - 9.3lbs bb300 Metallic Red 1984 - 9.8lbs bb200 Red 1987 - 7.7lbs the 200 is currently awaiting further instruction from Parcelforce who managed to lose the bass twice and crack the neck in the process.

I like them. 😉
