Needs a bloody good clean. In current state it’s a £150 bass at best. Cleaned and set up/restrung and sparkly...possibly £250-£300.

Dean Vincent Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 No I've got the 800HD head and a R115 cab. I watched this demo and for me the Rat won hands down. Half of them I didn't really notice! Quote
Al Krow Posted April 25, 2021 Author Posted April 25, 2021 The only issue for me with the Rat is that it's better at sucking out low end than a vampire rodent! Definitely need to get some decent clean blend mixed in and a bit of bass EQ boost to restore that low end punch you're loving from your 424! 1 Quote

AndyTravis Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 So I’ve just sorted the bb350f discussed above. Frets will occur first. Then Ive got to Sand the red paint off and make a decision. here are options currently LPB, Sherwood Green, burgundy Mist,Royal Purple... Quote

Or the purple, like the bb5000 rarely appears in. LPB is done - I’m still waiting on remortgage to be done and then I’m talking to @marleaux62 about his 1300. and Burgundy Mist...not sure, had a bass in that before. Matching Headstock is being done too, and then a decal. 1 Quote

Expand Apologies to the green party but surely it has to be LPB! Green should be reserved only for nature & tanks. How about one of those new trendy matte finishes? Quote

AndyTravis Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) As an aside - had anyone got 4 of these in a draw? I had 2 spare sets and sold/used them so I’ve got a couple of parts but not a workings set. These have been replaced on the 350f. Another option is hipshot/gotoh lollipops.

Guest Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 This just appeared on TB's BB thread. May I vote whatever this shade of white is called? (Alpine White? Snow White? Stamford Demographic White?) Quote

(Alpine White? Snow White? Stamford Demographic White?) Expand I know this sounds daft...if I’m paying for a refin, I want it to be something not seen from the factory... Metallic green and Purple up there massively. I am soft when it comes to blue basses though. My car is blue, I buy blue things...all stems from an early memory when dad had what was effectively a LPB mk2 escort ghia. Sad, I know. Quote
