A decent split P and a Yamaha bridge pickup would be good, if the price is right but he's looking £450 best offer to me. I do like that maple fretboard and the colour is nice, I do like a challenge ... You can buy the bb 414/1024 bridge pickups, you could make it a neck through yamajazz… it’s also 4.9kg too 😳 Quote

Maude Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 I've got a feeling I've seen another Super Bass on ebay. Quote

Maude Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 No, just ignore me for I am a tit.😁 There's a few but they're all in Japan. The SB1200s is £1200. Quote

Maude Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Ooh that reminds me of my first proper bass, an Attitude Special. There's a super sexy SBV800MF (for Mutha flipa! 😄) on there in a metallic blue/green. It looks amazing but it's nearly £2.4k delivered, before any import fees get slapped on top. Quote
Reggaebass Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Yamaha 414, way too far away from me https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BB414-bass-guitar-/115071087678?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Good price currently but 6 days to go....expect the price to go up. Quote
Maude Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Just mucking about seeing if I can upload a reasonable audio clip here. Recorded on my phone placed in front of an Ashdown B-Social, no editing or EQing as I have no means of doing that, I don't own a computer. I couldn't have it loud either but I think it's actually worked OK and isn't bad quality. Ignore the timing and random non muted strings and shizzle, it was just to see if I could upload reasonable audio. And as it was a BB it's going here. 😁 BBPH & EHX Bass Clone. https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/Nj87z 2 Quote

I might just put a speculative bid in for it. Anyone got any suggestions on its value? 1 Quote

EJWW Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 It astounds me the low values the BB414s go for. They are a no nonsense bass and with the matching headstock they look the business. Just have it! 1 Quote

BTW what’s the difference between the 414 and the 350? Is it just the reverse P pickup on the 350 and does that make much difference compared to the normal p arrangement? Quote

bubinga5 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 New BB434. SD jazz pickup added. Strings and action were not good so DR Low Riders and action lowered. 6 Quote

Will be good to hear how your 434 stacks up against them. Edited October 31, 2021 by Al Krow 1 Quote
