A decent Indonesian-assembled bass guitar. Well worth £950. At the Ebay price above- they're welcome to it. I bet they won't even play it.

At £899 in pmt new seemed a fair price, that sort of money is getting into a different territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Why would someone pay £1900 for a bass the could buy new for £899? Am I missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't buy it new, though, there seems to have been only one single batch of them, and it's now been scrubbed from Yamaha's online catalogue. Now prices have climbed, people at least feel safe paying them because they know that they'll probably lose nothing on it if they decide to sell later on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent news, apart from I'm at work twenty miles away and nobody else is home. Fingers crossed they leave it somewhere as my property is safe/quiet enough, rather than take it back to a depot to be thrown around. 🤞 Tracking lies. 🥺 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeycrikey Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 One of the main things was the 424x had chromes on it, which I really like. The 1024x had nickel round wounds on it. It did sound very good for lots of different genres but without being able to nail the differences I just preferred the 424x. At one point I strung them both with nickel round wounds and they sounded very close to each other. Ultimately I needed to make some space for an incoming purchase and I decided there was more resale value in the 1024x. So that was sold on and I kept the 424x. I have no regrets moving it on. Just think the 424x does everything I need at a much cheaper price than the 1024x. The Build quality was definitely better on the 1024x, neck construction, nut, different neck pickup But the 424x is no slouch and just really good work horse. Ultimately the 1024x was sold on to pay for a precision bass. 5 minutes ago, Reggaebass said: What was the main difference you found mikey 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 She's arrived according to UPS. It's leant against the south facing front door, slowly cooking in the afternoon sun until I get home at six. Opposite the front door is a five metre square gated undercover area. Nevermind 🙄 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The most difficult part is done... the new golden bridge arrived today from the UK. Customs sucks ! Now only the new gold Schaller tuners have to arrive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yay, it's here and all is good! I had to go out this evening so it was a quick unpackage to check over and that was it. But it's oh so sexy, really nice looking and at first glance appears to be in excellent condition. It's smaller than I expected, but I have been playing a Jack Casady and Ric 4005 mainly and they're both stupidly large. Tomorrow I'll give it a proper try out. But at the mo I'm a very happy chappy! 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The BB 414 from BD arrived and apart from a dent on the bottom edge next to the input jack, it is remarkably good condition for a 11 year old bass. And everything works which is a bonus! Stuck on a set of old GHS flats and it sounds really good. For the price of a Squier Affinity, I have a good quality bass that looks good. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are such great cheap basses and they look proper rock and roll. I really think that the most recent line of BBs has lost a bit of that classic rawness. I'm convinced that my vintage white BB414 is a keeper although I've said that so many times about basses in the past.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were getting a 424 (which was partly why I thought you'd got a really good price!) - did you end up getting a 414 instead?
