TheGreek Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Don't worry...it's collection only. The petrol would cost you more than the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacksawbob Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Now look what you've gone and made me do! Popped into the local store and see the exact bass I have been looking for! Needed (wanted!) something with a bit of clank and zing to compliment the Ibanez with flats on. Not too horendous a price, and got a bit knocked off for a dodgy G tuning peg. that was rattling. it's been bent so a bit of blue tack on it til I find a replacement Anyone know where to get one if BTN are out of stock? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say BTN first. Or [email protected] Also - @lee650 is after a template for a 425/1025 pickguard if you could trace yours? Theyre not as templated/available as the 4 string version xxx Edited July 18, 2021 by AndyTravis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems reasonable… Yeah, decent that - anything under £300 and you’re getting what you’d pay £600+ for on a fender. I was stunned that the red one I’ve just bought was under £300 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munurmunuh Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I've just been totting up what I've spent on bassy things in the last 12 months (2 Yamahas, 1 Squier, 1 Dimarzio, 1 failed attempt to buy a G&L, 3 set ups, 2 multieffects units, 1 studio monitor, 1 case, 1 pickup, 6 picks, 3256 strings, leafs, stands, straps, straplocks etc) Amongst that carnage, the £300 spent on the 424 I've played the majority of that time is seeming thoroughly insignificant. Which is my long-winded way of saying, hurry up and get that bass bought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I’ve had a newer BB which I really liked but it was around the time I was offloading a heap of gear to get a deposit for my flat. I prefer the look of the newer BB’s but I’m not adverse to trying one out. I also played the BB’s when guitar guitar we’re doing a blow out, some mates have owned them way back in the day so I’m no stranger to them but most of it was back in my youth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
