I owned the 1024 - mega special bass. the 414 won for me - but I’m clueless as my entire basschat history will prove. Was tempted by the 414 (obviously idiot move) - still hoping @marleaux62 is selling the bb1300 at some point - the more I ask, the more he says no 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I've had a 425 and loved the neck but just found it ungainly overall, I doubt a 4 string would be much different but they look SO COOL 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I’ve messaged the seller. It’d cost the same in fuel for me to go and get it. Offered to have it collected by a courier and she’s said “someone’s just messaged to say they’ll collect tomorrow...” 🤨😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 On 09/04/2021 at 20:39, Richard Jinman said: Are there any BB1100s players out there who have found another BB (or another non Yamaha bass) with the same neck profile. If you’ve got one you’ll know how good it feels... incredibly flat, a little wider than a jazz. I bought a BB1600 and a Bb2000 assuming they would have necks that were similar or the same. I was wrong: they feel much thicker, more akin to a P neck. So, is the 1100s neck shared by another vintage BB or will I just have to find another 1100s? I've never played an 1100, but that sounds like a good description of the neck on my BB800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Jinman Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Pricing a BB1600 I have a BB1600 I’m thinking of shifting on here but I’m genuinely unsure about a price. I’ve just sold my BB2000 and I’m going to keep my 1100s. Anyway, the 1600 is black with gold tuners etc and has plenty of cosmetic dings, but is a great player. I don’t have the original case so it travels in a Gator. Obviously, things are worth what someone’s prepared to pay for them etc etc, but I’d appreciate some thoughts on a starting price. Thanks.

Obviously, things are worth what someone’s prepared to pay for them etc etc, but I’d appreciate some thoughts on a rough idea on a starting price. Thanks. They don’t come up often - and are well thought of due to the Tony Kanal connection. They’re often listed as BB-X in Japan (think there’s a slight variation on VVT Bs VTSwitch. I’d say between £500 and £800. Happy to be wrong. One in Wine Red sold on here for £450 about 5 years ago. So I’m about right. I got offered a lovely 1600 for about £800 a year ago and all that stopped me was that it was in San Francisco and the import duty would’ve been massive. it was a later model in a metallic blue/green.

Richard Jinman Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thanks Andy, that’s helpful. Want to be realistic about the price, but also aware the money’s going straight out the door on another bass so don’t want to give it away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One very bad ding to the back of body (in fact a small chunk of wood missing). I'm not at home now, will post pics later. Bought in 2015 from a nice Basschatter named Rich, we met up at King's X Station. I paid £150 then and would want £90 now. I also wouldn't be able to organise a box as all guitar stores are closed here in Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
