Happy to sell/swap the (slightly worn) 1024 guard I have to sort @lee650 out with a 5 string version - they’re frustratingly close 😣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if you have come across a 2005 also in your travels and been able to compare them? And I have no idea how they sound / play compared to the current line up, but I'm guessing more similarities than differences ie you know you're playing a Yammy BB!

TheGreek Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 OMG!!! Just fitted a set of Status tapewounds (40-120) to my BB5GS - man, what a change in tone. Absolutely monster tones - feels like being kicked in the chest by Darth Vader wearing size 14 Doctor Marten boots. Highly recommend to anybody who wants to start a volcanic eruption on the Moon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Jinman Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 This feels like the best £350 I’ve spent in a long while. BB450 in coffee burst from a guy in Tyne and Wear. Immaculate condition (has an Omega bridge not the original sadly) and with a new set of La Bella black tape wounds sounds incredible to my ears. Even got a non OEM hard case. Old BBs are just brilliant value (not that anyone here needs convincing) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck pup sounds particularly good so it’s going to be the P to my 1100s J. Did you contact the seller about it as well Andy? Was a Gumtree ad. I spoke to him on the phone and it sounded like he was winding down his playing. He also mentioned “my BB2000s” which is tantalising! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
