Al Krow Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 Not that I have £2,700 to blow on this model(!) but, for anyone who does @gobasserk(?!), here's a nice little clip setting out the features of the BB2024MA: Quote
gobasserk Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Too bad, I don't have the money !! But I do have a BB3000MA and a BB1000MA. So I might come over it. But the 2024MA looks killer !!!! Quote

AREA Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Can't await to have the BB435 her. Looking to old Photos, I've found my BB's of the Past... 3 Quote

The sunburst and black ones both look a bit boring for my tastes, so teal blue was the best option for me, mismatched headstock or not. Personally I think it looks fine! 😊 Quote
TRBboy Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I'm really hoping that my new Sandberg is going to fosters all over my 435 when it arrives in June, but not feeling overly confident that will be the case (as much as I LOVE Sandberg!).... 😬 Quote

dave_bass5 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I quite the look of the 435 with maple fretboard, but the painted headstock just doesn’t look right on that neck IMO. 1 Quote

There's a 435 with a maple board!? How did I miss that coming out! Would've much preferred a maple board! 🤦♂️ Quote

Take my money 😏 Oh, I forgot the custom-wound alpino pickups... The real question is...does it go to eleven? Edited January 5, 2020 by Muzz 1 Quote

Baceface Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I think the black/maple/black 434 looks nice, particularly with the cream 'guard. However, I don't like the black headstock on the sunburst/maple version but think it looks great on the sunburst/rosewood model. I am also unsure why this is. 1 Quote

Muzz Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Just as a little aside, I was watching a YouTube vid last night of The Stranglers on C4's The Tube circa '85, and JJB is using...a BB! A black one, obv... His sound wasn't so good (for JJB), but that was in the period just before Hugh left when it all went a little squishy... 1 Quote

Maple boards always look anaemic, wishy washy and insubstantial at the best of times. With the matching headstock they fade into nothingness. 1 Quote

StickyDBRmf Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 http://IMG_20200106_123635423.jpg Not a bass but it's bamboo sorta like maple. I'm trying to post a photo. Ignore if there's nothing there Quote
gobasserk Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Need two new knobs and a new toggle switch. Wanted to change the tuners by the weekend but couldn't wait 😄 Voila the BB414 with new hardware. While searching for knobs I found the electronics of my BB3000 (passive). I sold that bass equipped with a Glockenklang active circuit. It was one of the 2000 something (year) limited edition basses. So that will go into the 414 also. Yes I like it.
