  1. For it to still be rank? 🤷🏻‍♂️
  2. I thought Jolana, but it’s not. google “tiesco bass” and there are few similar ones.
  3. Jolana? edit - tiesco possibly
  4. No. It’s not for me.
  5. Oh dear. Mr Orange 414 didn’t get a look in tonight. I’ve never been so chuffed with a bass instantly...
  6. Stop whatever you’re doing and buy an old 1100s!!! Wow. Off to rehearsal with mine now after a tweak and a new set of strings! magical.
  7. I always thought (before the Squier VM arrived) that the vintage v940fl was the best budget fretless. there was the Yamaha rbx260 (?) fretless too, but that wasn’t as cheap...
  8. Thing is, I remember my bb300 being horrifically heavy. The bb450f and 1100s both seem to be under 9lbs. Really weird.
  9. Good old interwebz
  10. Had to leave it at work. Out for a meal 🙄
  11. I’m skint until New Years now. 3000 next 🤔
  12. The gloss sunburst would probably be harder wearing...anyhow, they both look ace. My new/old sunburst 1100s is sat in reception 🤪
  13. They’re both lovely - December is not the one for selling gear...unless it’s a Yamaha BB and I’m nearby
  14. Quite honestly, if it wasn’t for 1980’s Yamaha BB basses, I could’ve had this 🥴
  15. Get it bought so you can have a change of heart in the new year and then sell it to me when I’m more flush...
  16. The left is a bb350f from about 1987, the right is a bb414 with a 2024x pickguard from about 2004/5 with a mad bridge. Yet to be in shot is the bb1100s due on Tuesday
  17. That’s my thought - it’s literally an internal factory movement sticker. From shaping to sanding to sealing to paint to buffing etc - all controlled by barcoding since the late 90’s.
  18. More likely an factory id number, for the paint codes or production line number, has the neck pocket got any stamps in it or anything?
  19. Watched a big jazz band on Thursday and the lad on bass had one of these in sunburst. Sounded mega - also had a Framus Triumph upright which wasn’t as warm/rich sounding
  20. Already had a 425x So this is currently safe. not certain I could resist a 1024x in white
  21. I’ve just started looking for Yamaha 424x’s. i need to grow up. i literally bought a bb1100s at 10pm tonight
  22. Think this is the sign that the hiatus is on a hiatus... first (dep) gig is a week tomorrow. 2nd rehearsal with new band is on Wednesday. new amp arrived on Friday. looks like I’m back in the seat.
  23. Mate. I’m dangerous when I’ve had a few - especially near old yamahas
