There are a couple of guys on here local to there. I`m in Falkirk most days delivering, I will drop him a line and see how much he actually wants for it. Quote
Hacksawbob Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Now look what you've gone and made me do! Popped into the local store and see the exact bass I have been looking for! Needed (wanted!) something with a bit of clank and zing to compliment the Ibanez with flats on. Not too horendous a price, and got a bit knocked off for a dodgy G tuning peg. that was rattling. it's been bent so a bit of blue tack on it til I find a replacement Anyone know where to get one if BTN are out of stock? 5 Quote

I’d say BTN first. Or [email protected] Also - @lee650 is after a template for a 425/1025 pickguard if you could trace yours? Theyre not as templated/available as the 4 string version xxx Edited July 18, 2021 by AndyTravis 2 Quote

It seems reasonable… Yeah, decent that - anything under £300 and you’re getting what you’d pay £600+ for on a fender. I was stunned that the red one I’ve just bought was under £300 Quote

Guest Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 I've just been totting up what I've spent on bassy things in the last 12 months (2 Yamahas, 1 Squier, 1 Dimarzio, 1 failed attempt to buy a G&L, 3 set ups, 2 multieffects units, 1 studio monitor, 1 case, 1 pickup, 6 picks, 3256 strings, leafs, stands, straps, straplocks etc) Amongst that carnage, the £300 spent on the 424 I've played the majority of that time is seeming thoroughly insignificant. Which is my long-winded way of saying, hurry up and get that bass bought. Quote

AndyTravis Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 So, on a rummage for something else bb related… This cropped up. 2024mx - white pickguard played by Glenn Hughes… And then never saw the light of day… 1 Quote
krispn Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 I’m away to get a new car so if the salesperson does a decent discount I might pick it up on the drive home 👌🏼 2 1 Quote

krispn Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 I’ve had a newer BB which I really liked but it was around the time I was offloading a heap of gear to get a deposit for my flat. I prefer the look of the newer BB’s but I’m not adverse to trying one out. I also played the BB’s when guitar guitar we’re doing a blow out, some mates have owned them way back in the day so I’m no stranger to them but most of it was back in my youth. 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Another 424 on Gumtree. I think the red ones must be breeding... https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bb424-bass-guitar/1410384361 Quote
