TheGreek Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 4 hours ago, Grassie said: Got this last month from fellow BC’er 6feet7 - BBG5A. Not sure of the year, but possibly ‘97-‘98. Great condition for its age, bar a few small dents in the clear coat. My first 5er for 15 years or so. Sounds great through my GK rig. 😊 I have two currently. Really nice basses which punch well above their price point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Is anyone in Northern England looking for a BB734a? A coffee burst one is on facebook marketplace for £300 in Penrith. Nothing to do with me but I thought I'd mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom.android Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 What the hell is this? Probably belongs in the eBay madness forum. Obviously mate, it’s not a fender. Kind of looks like a horribly tortured BB. Any ideas? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275841364170?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=k9ldUD_fQFG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=CBIPM5XXRG2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think it's one of those NT basses that come up regularly with different names built in Japan. I've never had one in my hands but I'd like to have one and add some decent electronics. Seen them for £50, seen them for £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 That's the one. Go by a number of names - That's two of 'em. Can't see the relief on the neck on the bass but new electronics and some sandpaper could improve it significantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Yep, Kay. I was given one and restored it. Actually quite a nice bass with a bit of love, nice punchy pickups, brass nut and fret markers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think that you've single-handedly added at least £200 to the price of the one on ebay. It may come down to how many people see your photos in the next 4 days. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom.android Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 P-pickup (normal or reverse) fretless BBs. What’s out there? Was a BB414f ever made or just the active 614f? O, oracles of the BB thread lend me your wisdom. And help me find one. The blue BB400s that was on Reverb last month is haunting my dreams.

Yes it sounds great, in passive or active, huge range in active. I think it's the same preamp/eq as the fabled BB1200, could I could be wrong. It's very, very playable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
