I like the look, layout and YouTube vids lol You'll have seen from my post earlier, that my 1025 has outlasted two 425s, two 735As a P35 and an NE2. Can't really give it much higher praise or a bigger recommendation than that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was actually the exact same reason for the chap selling the P35 to me and the chap who bought it from me - both very experienced BC'ers and both of whom also really rated the quality of the P35 very highly (comments along the lines of "best bass I've played"). I think there's a P34 in the FS right now on for a very good price, and the P34 should also be a little lighter than the P35: Edited July 31, 2021 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 In this video, the live bass line is constantly cutting from 424 to 1024 to 2024, all on the neck pickup soloed. You can hear a relative lack of firmness in the 424's tone, and there's a nice bit of throatiness in the 1024 / 2024. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 424 has a bit less warmth, a bit more of a hollowed out sound… maybe that’s what I preferred when I had a 1024x and kept the 414. they look mega in white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly I've never found a single moment when I've wanted the neck pickup on its own, it feels like an ingredient to a successful recipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a 1024 really, in white with the plates. But that 424x does look awesome, and I'm tempted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 There's also a sunburst 424x on ebay at the mo, no bids with two days to go, £275. There's no point in me considering that as I'd still always be looking for a white one. Or ignore them both and get the blue SBV on gumtree. 😲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I'm so weak! I've just offered £300 for the white 424X. My son started a new job and borrowed £300 off me until his first payday, which I'd forgotten about until he just said, "I'll have your money next week", so really it'll be free if he accepts. 🤔 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) He countered £320, so I went back with £310. He's just come back with £315. Is it worth messing about over that amount? I'd have liked to have found one cheaper as a few have sold for the low two hundreds, but this one is a white X and looks in good condition.

Cheers I’d go for it - if you hate it (which I doubt you will) and sell for £300, it’s cost you £15 to find out you need something else. if you love it - (which I think you will) it’s a great bass for not much coin.
