walshy Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Dave Wilson is incredible. He’s done about 10 for me and all amazing. From sympathetic restoration to full paint jobs, he’s the man for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 You are lucky with that price for a new finish! A metal flake or metallic pro job is in Germany about 600-700 Euros... 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Vinyl wrap would be cheaper. And reversible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The problem is to find someone who does this 100%. I did not find one yet. Bigger foiling companies often don't waste time for a small wrapping like for a bass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) By the way, this is a copy of the BB1000MA pick up ring. The original one is made from diecast nickel-plated steel, the copy from aluminum. The lightweight of that thing in comparison is freaky 😛 Edited February 4, 2021 by gobasserk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! Is that identical to the one you very recently sold or a different model or finish? Obligatory pics of course, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The previous one was a black 434 with the terrible cream scratch plate but that was 2018 I think. The last one was a black 734 in 2020 but I didn`t give it much of a chance on reflection. It won`t be here till Saturday. I have shipped a few out the door recently so it about time something came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah know what you mean...I'm also in the ridiculous position of being in surplus on my gear account for the first time since I took up the bass. NAMM 2021 was a bit of a damp squib I guess completely understandably, and even the recent PH is missing a string... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Since I received my 424 I've been especially taken by the sound of the two pickups together. The neck on its own seems a tiny bit indistinct, the bridge alone a bit too harsh, but combined: perfect. I've just realised that the bass has been deliberately set up to make the most of the two pickups combined: the bridge pickup is noticeably closer to the strings. Someone has gone to the effort of getting the blend just right 🥰 And the strings fitted (I believe they're RS66s) seem chosen to complement that sound.

Al Krow Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) A very tasty black BB 1025x to add to that rather nice surf green 1024x and a good value 605 all in the FS currently. Edited February 6, 2021 by Al Krow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 https://www.facebook.com/groups/184621401586617/permalink/3668062106575845/?sale_post_id=3668062106575845 Nice BB300 here, think at £300 it’s a push as it’s got a few marks. But they’re undoubtedly worth that. Looks like a mid 80’s Taiwanese one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
