sykilz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Been looking at these online for a while,quite like the o.t.t rock monster design,and just found them for £355 at Soundslive,has anyone any good/bad stories about the basses or the online store please?? Cheers. Currently I`m using a Mex P with SD quarterpounders in, quite happy with it, but got the GAS...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 any interest in a BB here mate? Made in Japan, stunning craftsmanship [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/163663-yamaha-bb1100s-1986-mij-new-price-l330-new-pics/"]http://basschat.co.u...-l330-new-pics/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looks very nice,but I`m shamefully drawn to the pick guard and metalwork version!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusco Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I bought a black 424x last May and have been very pleased with it. My other bass is a CV60 Jazz and the quality is about the same with the BB a bit heavier and the outpick from the pickups VERY MUCH higher. I did try the 1024x but in my novice hands there was no real noticable difference. If it was stolen I would buy another one, maybe in white though. I've not used that store but have bought a few things from DV247 recently who have been very good and have them at the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As a bb414 owner I agree these look great, pups look the same as 414 and if they are that means hot. Try whybuynew who advertise on eBay for a better price? I like the string thru at 45' and the multiple layer neck, I saw one in the red and it looked stunning. It's gonna be good, it's a yamaha!

KevG Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Got a BB424x in tobacco burst - very happy with it indeed, has a good range of tones, nice neck and is well made, I'd get another one! Strangely I also have a Mexican P with SD quarter pounders! I think the 2 complement each other nicely as both cut well through the mix, but one of my guitarists prefers the BB424's sound, particularly with the bridge p/u up.
