Yeah, £300 is 424 pricing, £500–£600 is 1024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it's about a quarter of an inch near the neck. I'm going to take that as the explanation. 🤷♂️ I regularly gigged a sunburst 424 with flats in a rock and roll show, and was very happy. That being said I did sell it to buy a P bass 🙄😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo2 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I am intrigued by the blue one, I assume there is a separate thread on it with specs, photos and sound samples - Andy, share the link, please.

I'm so Yamaha bass curious but the regular BB's don't do much for me ... That blue one however .. I really like that. Looking forward to the sound samples.

Humbucker mode. Theres a noodly bit which is just bridge humbucker. Think I added reverb. Slappy bit - single coils both on full vol/tone. sorry it’s scrappy - 3 year old playing up so - but yeah, It does a lot and it’s nice, looking forward to band context.

Al Krow Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yup, i was kinda guessing it was the N4 based on the pups, but thanks for confirming Andy. It does seem to have a slightly thinner body than the usual suspects, or is that just the camera angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collection only London… then I realised I have to get the purple paint for the 350, and I’ve just bought a £70 Gotoh bridge for the 424x and I need to grow up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching how these basses flow through your hands , it's quite hypnotic, like watching a waterfall 🤣 Much more entertaining than anything on the telly at least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're having 4 auditions so spoilt for choice really. Think my playing was not too bad but I think personality will be more part of it.

Romeo2 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 11 hours ago, AndyTravis said: Angle - regular thickness @Al Krow Andy is obviously right, what is quite special about this cheap BB is it's a smaller body than the more fancy (or later) BB models but more importantly, it just seems perfect: light, super-well balanced and for the money I paid for it on here it's ridiculously good in terms of every note ringing like it was a £1.5k instrument. I bought it on here from a chap who in the advert said he bought it on here as well so it's changed hands a couple of times, I think I'm not letting it go. Adding shielding in the cavity would make it tour-ready. Yamaha FTW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
