I’d love one of the J/P/J ones.
-
Ah damn it, if I had known you were selling this too 😂 -
Great transaction - thank you!
-
D’Addario do a nice medium scale set which is probably worth trying first. I have them on medium scale Jazz which is in a similar vein to yours.
-
@AndyTravis, reveal thy new acquisition...
-
Time for you to join the medium scale thread, Andy... it’s an addictive club, I have three now.
-
Doh don’t know why it corrected to KN, I meant KB! -
Ah you’re selling it! Almost tempted to visit just to see the kitty, KN and you. And the Dingwall...
-
Flatwounds are so good though!!
-
Bought a lovely Yamaha bass, easy transaction and great comms. Would definitely buy again!
-
They’re neat basses, but the QC on the cheaper ones is very iffy and I’ve certainly seen variances in individual basses.
-
@stewblack Funnily enough the other bass in my gig bag when I sold you the fretless was my BB435!
-
It’s one of the newer chambered bodies isn’t it -
Dingwall Voodoo Prima 6 - not for sale anymore!

Thank goodness, I’ll now remove the ad I put up for my kidneys. -
Forgive me for asking as I’m guessing you mentioned elsewhere - who’s doing them for you and how much? Toying with getting my 435 one done in tort.
-
I’d say keep using the bass that’s working for you. Saving a little £ is a bonus.
-
The split coils are all noise cancelling if wired correctly. I have a Nordstrand NP4A, Bareknuckle 58, Fender Custom Shop 62, and I have an Aguilar AG4P somewhere waiting to go into something. I probably like the Nordstrand the best of those, but it is also in my 64 so that may be a factor. They are all fantastic pickups.
-
I always thought those RBXs were gorgeous. A couple friends had RBX765As that looked amazing, and just a year or so ago I bought an RBX6JM that was perfect apart from the 35” scale.
-
Cheap acoustic bass guitars are rarely loud enough to be played unamplified, unless it’s in a small room with very quiet instruments and singer.
-
That is a stupid good deal. -
Not very much in it, a smidge more attacky through the bridge, more sustainy through the body. Similar to bolt-on, neck through. YMMV. I think the diagonal stringing just means there is less bend on the strings at the saddle.
-
I don’t disagree... but I also hated the pickup surrounds on the older BBs so everyone’s different! I tried both stringing options and have stuck with through-body. Astounded to have all those options on a bass that cost so little though!
-
The 435 isn’t just string through though, it offers two options of either string through bridge or through body. Economically, it would make more sense to use the same bridge for all the 3 series basses rather than two different ones.
-
As the others have said, the extended B stringing gives options and a tauter feel when stringing through the bridge rather than through the body. The question for me is why they didn’t do it for the 735 and P35!

BB435s are awesome, I have one and it holds its own in a much more expensive collection.
