I use them - I love the feel - absolutely perfect compliance and smoothness. 
 

They last me about 4/5 rehearsals.

till they die on you, or till you sell the bass?

Crazy stuff 

[Al Krow]

£132 sold, including a hard case. Still a very decent price for a BB414, which I think it is. Although a long round trip to collect for many.

Bargain if you were local though. 

 

It's a local bargain for local people. There's nothing for you here! 😄

My BB:

 

This really is a thing of beauty 👍 So pleased my son has been offered one.

[AndyTravis]

Has anyone got one of these?

 

my repaired one has a rattle and I can’t deal with it as I mostly play acoustically at home…

Is it a Yamaha one. I may have one off an old BB 300 you can have. Need to have a look through my spares box

It’s on my watch list. I’ve made 2 offers - seller seems to want basically what they’ve put as starting bid…

 

which, let’s be Frank…is too much

I thought they were worth about £1k? I must be off with the pricing these days lol

New? Yeah about that.

 

Although I sold an ex demo one in a shop for about £500 (should’ve bought it…)

 

Used I think £500-£700 would be right.

 

if it was immaculate (which it isn’t) or the rarer black/burst/white) then fair enough.

 

it’s dinged all around the jack and has buckle rash on the belly contour…so it’s £600 maximum in my head.

 

I’ve already offered £650 and that’s been declined so…that’s me out, and still in the gear abstinence thread 😂

That makes sense given the research available on google. They are nice but yeah with all that character, its probably too much at £875. Your abstinence is working well ;D 

[Booga13]

Also spotted a 1000s for £500 on a FB b/s group, didn't save the link as I'm trying to abstain😪

[Booga13]

Found it, bit short on details and pics mind you

A bb1100s

 

A later model about 1988/9.

 

£500 is reasonable; it looks well.
