Not close enough…and possibly a bit more than I wanted to pay. Will think on that 👍🏼 Quote

TheGreek Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Not a hard job - just remember if it's flat move them back (NOT FORWARD) 2 Quote

Not sure how much that would bother me as it is otherwise lovely. Quote

I really love it though, good photos really make for a good advert. Expand I’d say light - looks fine down the side of the neck, Yamaha are one of the most consistent mass manufacturers going. The two bb 424’s I had were only a couple of grams apart and very close to my 414 weight wise. Ive had fenders at 7.5 and up to 11lbs and neck pockets from the 90’s which were gappy too. Not fender bashing at all - love a good fender. 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Been a while since I’ve done “bb on the stairs” - think the last time was the 714bs… wonder where that ended up… 6 Quote

But everytime I see the 415 with the pickguard I fall in love. Quote

Guest Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Make the switch go from the P pickup in a passive circuit with a tone control to the Humbucker in the existing active circuit, with just a master volume..... Quote

Expand I'd have the MM a bit higher than they did, with the bottom coil in the J position. The gap they have between the lugs bothers me though, not sure if that can be avoided however. Quote
BassApprentice Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Could be the angle, but that humbucker doesn't look straight..... 😅 But throw some cream pickup covers on that 😍 Quote
LukeFRC Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Captain Hindsight here - what do you think the going rate of a BBPH is? I knew I should have pulled the trigger when I had one of the signed ones in my shopping basket when they came out Quote

A screenshot of the sale was posted on this thread. Goodness knows what a signed one is worth now! Quote
matbard Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Unsigned? You are talking about a real PH signature, not the one on the rear, right? Quote
