Also some of them have whispered to me about the post-it note you keep on your desk with the opening hours for cash converters on it - they find it a touch intimidating My local crack converters closed down…now we know why… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think so. Something like that anyhow. Think it’s when I told them a rebadged Squier strat wasn’t a £1000 American standard strat… bless. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 How do the BB1100 and your BB414 compare physically, from your point of view? I know (or at least I think I know) that the 1100 has a 43mm neck and the 414 a 40mm neck, but I don't recall you ever making much mention of preferring one kind of neck over another, about any of your basses. Is there a slight difference in the shape of the body, too? Is the 1100 physically more similar to the 300 you had when you were a kid?

The bb1600 has a more “shouldered” feeling neck, it’s a tiny bit chunkier - but not in an unpleasant way. Very much like the 1985 bb1100 I had. The 414 is slimmer and shallower like a flattened C shape - they reverted to the deeper feel on the 424… the body shapes are pretty much identical - slight variation on the treble cutout - about 5mm deeper on the older 80’s BB’s. The bb300 when I was a kid was a mega early Japanese one with the really shallow treble horn cut out. I don’t get involved in measuring necks/string spacing etc - I either get into a bass or I don’t, I never buy something just because of string spacing/nut etc. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As neither bass received zero votes it was the only logical course of action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
