sykilz Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 My BB has been packed away for a while, been playing on my 'little' Ibanez mezzo which is a nice enough instrument, however got it out this weekend and am in love with it all over again. Was still in tune too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munurmunuh Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I'm holding that photo up to my sunburst 424 and asking it, wouldn't you much rather look like that?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it from basschat , gigged at pub level for 3 or 4 years most weekends, and to be honest I don't think I'd gig any other type of bass now, ( if I ever were to gig again), it's just so solid and sounds great.

I do love the white, but my absolute favourites were the red sunburst type one and the orange sparkle, of which there are two for sale and I'm soooooo tempted!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That caption is weird, and I can,'t read what's written on the headstock properly. From what I've seen, a BB1200 (my cover photo) has one reverse P pickup, two black flat-top plastic knobs with numbers and that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I finally found a guy that does great lacquer jobs for a reasonable price and I will bring him a first bass, a 1000MA for a new finish tomorrow. If I like the result, I may buy quiet a number of other Yamaha's to get them turned in my own signature basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the first bbn4, they had a 3+1 headstock and apparently Musicman weren’t best pleased. They crop up occasionally, but not at £400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) So cool....I'm just back from the lacquer guy.... took a look at some examples of his work... I like his work. Price is very fair.... 2 hours driving was worth it. Now the wait begins... 🙂 Edited April 20, 2021 by gobasserk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Cheap if anyone’s near Manchester...er. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6222976731049495/ A BBn4 with the “lawsuit” 3+1 headstock - needs a bit more effort. Got that lovely Yam bridge I have on my BB. Edited April 21, 2021 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matbard Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Pretty good results after the second hand of ink: However, despite the heavy masking with vinyl tape, I suffered some smearing, very hard to remove: I don’t recommend this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
