    Sorry missed this where you said you’d already had a 414. A 1024 P pickup in a 414 would really be something. Such a perfect sound and one of the nicest places I’ve ever put my thumb.

    Got my lovely, immaculate, caramel 1024 from Bassbros for £600 and that included a hard case and a fresh set of cobalt flats. Don’t disregard the 414. Easy to find and the biggest bargain in the second hand bass world. I used to own a 424 but I’d pick a 414 every time, having tried both. Perfectly balanced, slimmer neck, lighter, same pickups.

    Your 424 already is a P, better than most out there and with a number of notable improvements over the original design. Get a ‘real’ P for the look but you’ll have to spend an awful lot to get a Fender/whatever that sounds better than your 424. ‘Indistinct’ compared to your jazz? Well, jazzes have a more articulate sound in general. You might need to EQ them differently. You might want to try different strings. Want something more civilised? Try a 1024.

    Also, is that a Yamaha GX-1 over in the right corner? Crikey. Only about 5 of them in the world.

    Cracking bass full stop. For anyone. I’ve got the passive version and it can hold its own against most other basses out there.

    Thanks for the tip. I’d prefer to have the switch rather than push pull given the choice. Is there anything out there?

    Oh! Also an ideal feature would be for the treble control to function as a tone when in passive. Basically I want the same as in a 735a.

    Hi all, Considering trying a different pre in my BB2004 for 2 reasons: a) I want an active/passive switch b) the mid cut switch & knob on the stock pre is pretty useless for me So I’m looking for a 9v pre with the following controls: volume, blend, bass, mid, treble, active/passive switch. Functionally the same as found on the BB734/735a. Any recommendations? Thanks, Tom

    I’m the happy custodian of Jezzaboy’s black 424. I originally bought it to be a daily beater for teaching on and as a backup for gigs but has actually ended up becoming my main bass. The bridge seems to be a popular thing to upgrade on the 414/424. Gotoh often. Can anyone recommend the exact model I might look for? I love the Yamaha bridge on my 735a. Something similar to that would be cool. Cheers all!

    Hi guys, Final price drop for the weekend. £495 Here we have an Ibanez SR 1306 Custom 6 String Bass. Superb, high quality instrument. Made in Japan FujiGen Gakki, 1994 Purchased used from Bass Direct some years ago. It's been gigged, it's been played. It's still in pretty good condition. It has the traditional ding in the headstock. Upgraded bridge and electronics (sorry, I can't remember specifics - was done by previous owner) Delano pickups Tight 16.5mm spacing Recent setup, brand new set of Dunlop Superbright strings Includes very good fitted Ibanez hardcase (not pictured) It's not especially heavy and is very comfortable to play. If any Ibanez-heads want to point out mistakes I've made with the details please feel free. Also for sale on Gumtree. Trades with cash either way as appropriate: Yamaha BB 4 Strings, BB2004, 734a, 1024 but most considered Other PJ ish 4 stringers with jazz width necks HX Stomp Thanks for looking.
