Guest Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Should anyone care, and I'm very dubious that anyone does, as far as I can tell from checking more photos, the pickups on the 434 are in the same spots as on the 424 / 2024, so the split is again slightly neckward compared with a P.

The absence of a Precision-y noise from the neck pickup doesn't bother me, as I bought it for the sound of both pickups together. Perhaps that slight extra bassyness from placing the split a tiny bit closer to the neck was felt to give a better balance when the two are mixed together? At any rate, it does it for me. Exactly! I love my BB's for the sound of the P/J combination. In my oponion Yamaha has "created" a very unique sound with the BB's. If you want a sound that is 100% like a Fender Precision...buy one.

such Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 My "one that got away" was a brand new ex-display white 1024x sold for, iirc, £340 by Promenade Music on one of the LBGS, in 2013 I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
