Ok I'll join the party. Got it Saturday and took it to an audition last night and it was great.
Looks familiar 😄, hope it went well

The P bass is like a comfy pair of slippers. I love the simplicity. Really makes you think about your technique and music you are using it to make.
I like the chunky neck. My current one only weighs 3.9kg so very easygoing on the back.
Aesthetically very pleasing particularly if it's beaten up a bit.

But what I want to know is why a P34 is a more sensible daydream than a 1024?!
For me the P34 is simply a sensible bass. Sensible colour choices (all 2 of them). Bit too sensible for me.

Received a P bass bought from Mick today. Everything as described and a straightforward chap to do business with. Buy with confidence.

Hey bud what’s the weight on this?
Correction to the previous answer, it's actually 4.2kg as per my new snazzy digital luggage scales 😎

Congrats!!
Looking at the "wall of shame" on the OP it seems that BB415s are pretty rare beasts, in fact you're the only out of all of us who I know has one!
You can add a recently acquired 414 next to my name @Al Krow

This is lovely.
Love it.

I think that DR and the Chinese company selling on eBay missed a trick with these coloured strings. Surely they should be red, gold, green and black...
I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I love them. I've got DR black beauties on my vintage white BB414 and they look cool.

There’s a nice bb300 in black on Facebook currently.
Bit rich at £300 but to be fair it’s in good nick and worth every penny.
Early Taiwanese I think due to shape - seller says 81 (I’d guessed 84/5)

It is nice but i think 300 is way too high particularly considering the used prices of 414, 424 and 1024s. But if someone has to have it then that's fair enough.

Why buy one with a knackered truss rod when this beauty is available in the best colour...

My BB has been packed away for a while, been playing on my 'little' Ibanez mezzo which is a nice enough instrument, however got it out this weekend and am in love with it all over again. Was still in tune too.
Looks like a BB414 if I'm not mistaken?

Tasty!

Rush, Birmingham NEC, 30th anniversary tour, early 2000's.
Was a big Rush fan up until that point but the gig itself was like listening to the CD. Left me cold.
I was stood next to an obsessive Rush fan who lived every minute which didn't help.
Geddy is still a hero though.

As the OP mentioned fretboard oil, won't be maple.
I use baby wet wipes first, to clean as much as possible, dry with kitchen towel. Leave for an hour to fully dry off. Then use Dunlop lemon oil fretboard oil, leave for 5-10 mins and wipe off.
Yes it's rosewood. Do you use the oily baby wet wipes? Wouldn't have considered using those but we do have a baby and associated wipes so might finally have a bass-related use for them!

Hi all, I've recently taken possession of a second hand bass and I am about to give it a good clean before I replace the strings and set it up.
I normally use guitar fretboard oil and kitchen towel to clean all the gunk off the fretboard but before I get stuck into this one does anyone have any top tips for bass gunk removal?
Cheers in advance!

That is a fabulous looking bass, a great weight, the best colour and a good price.
So sorry that you are selling in the circumstances you state above.

Tasty models.
There are two 2024/Xs for sale on BC at the moment. Darryl's has been up for what seems like ages and is identical in price but 0.5kg heavier. Personally prefer the non-X version myself but I'd jump on either one at the right price.
An Olympic white one with a few dinks went on Ebay a couple months ago for around £1250. Ummed and ahhed but I just couldn't bring myself to cross the 1k mark for a lovely but basic instrument.

Horses for courses, I’m quite into it.
I think the gold hardware looks class. One sexy bass 😍

Just gonna give this a little plug on here, in case anyone is thinking of moving on their 1024 (great choice btw! 😊)
Funny, I've been thinking the exact same thought! My appetite was whet by that lovely amber coloured 1024 that sold in the marketplace last week within 24 hours. Vintage white is definitely the best colour IMO

Sorely tempted by this... love yamaha basses

It's in nice nick however i can't help noticing that there is quite a noticeable neck pocket gap on the bass side. Not sure how much that would bother me as it is otherwise lovely.
