CameronJ Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Actually, in that video the bass could easily be mistaken for a BB734a in coffee burst. 1 Quote

CameronJ Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 A heads up to BB735a owners and possibly other 5 stringers in the new model range - The low B string in a set of Dunlop Flats will not fit through the bridge as the ball end of the string is too chunky. I was unable to feed the last inch or so of the ball end through the bridge hole. I considered shaving off the silks but it wouldn’t have made much difference as it seems like the construction of the string is the issue. The E, A, D and G strings were fine FYI. 4 string players won’t have this problem. Quote
jrixn1 Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I have Dunlop flats on my BB735A and didn't have this problem. I'm away right now without the bass, but I can have a closer look later in the week. Quote

jrixn1 Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I think there's only one gauge available - mine are 45-125. Quote

Attempting to go through the body felt like I was going to snap the strings to get a proper break angle over the saddles. Edited June 11, 2019 by CameronJ Corrected myself 1 Quote

Can you go in with the string straight - under the saddle. Then manoeuvre the string to be on top of the saddle once it's in. 1 Quote

I never felt comfortable in general stringing flats through the body, on any bass. The bend angle seems too great for how rigid the strings are. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Guys, ive just ordered a BBP34, based on me loving the 425 i got last week. The 425 is great but i dont think I really want to use a 5 string bass all the time, so back to a 4 for now. I know there are cheaper alternatives but what the hell, i saw it for a great price (new) and i guess it doesnt really get much better at this price point. What i have realised is i could do with a low D on a few songs, so other than take two basses i was wondering if anyone has put a Hipshot Xtender on a P34, or similar. Or know if one will fit without any other modifications. Really looking forward to getting the P34. A bit apprehensive as it was at least £150 cheaper than other places, but sold as new. And still loving the 425 ive only had for a week. Thats not going anywhere in the near future. Quote
Cuzzie Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Hipshot,_Xtenders.html probably the BT10 will do it for you buddy D tuners are the nuts 1 Quote

Ive never used one before, although well aware of what they are and do. I did buy one years ago but never got around to putting it on my bass, and then sold it. 1 Quote
Cuzzie Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Time to rectify that then methinks, installation is a breeze You could go mad and fit multiple ones! Fantastic invention, they really are and gives you loads of options for playing all kinds of music. Edited June 13, 2019 by Cuzzie 1 Quote
