I think @AndyTravis is your man! I

@ped - this is your side of York

Possibly- we will see depending on where he’s based. If anyone closer to York wants it just say

Yamaha have always been good, but I think since the BB424 and that series they seem to both be focusing on the BB range and absolutely knocking it out the park in terms of quality at each price point. The X range helped them look a bit more trad and bling at the same time widening their appeal. so suddenly Yamaha BB are in and good again and if you can’t afford £2k for the Japanese made BB2024 It kinda makes sense that the older ones would be of more interest.

It's odd one. Imagine you've got a Precision bass you're selling. Cost you £400, probably could sell it for £800. Years back on Basschat you would probably sell it to me for £400 sorta Basschat-rate. More and more over the years though those low priced sales I see bought on here and then flipped the next week on eBay or facebook for £800 So what would be best for you to do?

Which is better for metal?

As I understand it the Oxford/AZ one is cheaper cos it’s cheaper To make. I’m pretty sure it’s being sold cost to poorer nations and there will be a small profit for rich nations like ourselves. anyway - this doesn’t help Andy’s BB rage does it?

I’m guessing that one is Taiwanese?

Japanese? Bolt on with non reveresed P?

How old is the BB450 Model @AndyTravis?

I'ld love to tidy my study and find things like that!

Or even the HS2 award...

Ah if this had another string I would be all over it. Sorry saving my money for the wall we will shortly need on England's northern border

there are pictures on there that look like a bass. owens just started an small fire

But you've got a nice fire pit!

FFS

which makes sense - esp at this point where Covid is doing funny things to the economy. Sell 50% and have enough to retire on ? - -why not? Same with Roger Sadowsky - I guess you get to an age and you're not going to be around forever and if Warwick are going to pay for your retirement by using your name - so be it

Maybe Mesa are buying Gibson?

Out of interest what was the cab? I’m imagining a 810 in a tiny inner city flat!

I’m not going there if you’re not. i know you said there’s no black and white on this subject, but what colours is the Yamaha? (I wrote “Yammy“ and couldn’t bring myself to use it sorry)
