Guest Posted December 23, 2021 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? Quote

Expand 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
