So ... a white 1024, obviously ... and then a MIJ 300 in nice nick as well ... 43mm nut, no bridge pickup, reverse split pickup, metallic red - four solid differences to justify having both, yes? Mmm, yes. A more sensible daydream would be a used BBP34, but what's the point of daydreaming if you're just going to be sensible? But what I want to know is why a P34 is a more sensible daydream than a 1024?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the P34 is simply a sensible bass. Sensible colour choices (all 2 of them). Bit too sensible for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I've just been watching multiple crummy videos of BB300 and BB-VI. I concluded that they make a loose, throaty tone relative to the more tightly focussed purr of, say, the 2024 on neck only. And then I looked at my words and remembered the adage about writing about music being like dancing about architecture. At any rate, the VI sounds like it would be an upgrade on whatever kind of P bass you could get for £600. But if I had a P shaped bass, all I would want to do with it would be give it a Di Marzio, and pretend it was an Ibanez Blazer. And that doesn't need £600.

Generally speaking Certainly is a good price 👍 £1125 for a signature series top end Yamaha bass is very cool. It’s the Michael Anthony signature with the chilli inlays.

krispn Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Yeah I’m familiar with the model - it’s just caught my eye, love the colour, the inlays are funny but not off putting. My limited GCSE French suggests he’s up for a change and open to trades with the figure listed as his starting point. I’ve no need for another bass but you know when you get a wee notion and start thinking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Don't forget the annoying 20% VAT on imports of used as well as new goods. @Steve Browning (aka BC's VAT guru) - I'm guessing that even if they met up on a cross channel ferry and simply traded the basses mid-channel for something of equal value and never set foot on each other's national turf then both bass players would each still be treated as importing a bass with 2 x 20% of the value being due to each countries tax authorities as VAT? Whether, in practice, this would ever get picked up without a voluntary disclosure I guess is an entirely separate matter!

krispn Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Yeah that’s been in the back of my mind. I’d just get my mate in Paris to arrange the deal and he’d stick it in his boot when he’s next over so I guess that’s s be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
