This appears to be a steal - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226688451886?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZcwxrKdmTUW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=PGq_huysSd-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Made the same mistake 😞

There are two different pix of the heel truss rod. I’m steering clear of that one.

Neepheid, you are a star mate We have three broken BB614s at the college I work in and my colleague is trying to fix them so this is very much appreciated. Cheers, Andy

Hi folks, by chance more in hope though, does anyone have a BB614 wiring diagram? Ta in advance, Andy

I my opinion, the SVT is the best valve amp ever but there are many great ones about too. I’ve had an Ashdown LB30 that was a wonderful little valve head and kicked out more than said 30watts. Actually I also had an Ashdown CTM-15 valve head that was a brilliant home practice amp that kicked ass lol but prior to this I had an original Trace Elliot V4 that was an absolute monster . My head was turned by the SVT Classic though 🥰

Aye be good to see the finished bass 😎🤘

This Hightown

Not that they are neglected just that my Fender P is doing everything I need a bass to do but my EBMM Stingray, Spector Euro 4LT and Yamaha Attitude mk2 are all redundant at the moment.

Take your pick as I only play the maple neck Fender P now.

I had the BBG5 of which is very similar to the N5 and thought is was excellent. The TRB style soap bars work for me on many levels, tone, clarity and growl but they are place perfectly for my finger playing. I miss my TRB5 mk1, the single best 5 string ever! The BBG5s below is identical to the one I owned. (Image courtesy of talkbass.com)

If a BBG4 then you'll love it, if it's the BB1300, that'll will be something else

I'll guess from Japan or maybe Tiaiwan.

If helps, regretted selling my BB1600 too, huge mistake but them’s the breaks unfortunately.

@AndyTravis

Try a BB714?

I best start on my lot now 😂 give me time on the following: Gibson SG Squier CV 50s tele US Fender P MIJ Fender P US EBMM Stingray Cort FMMH A5 Yamaha Attitude mk2 Yamaha BB714BS Spector Euro 4LT Jackson Minion Schecter CV4

I relocated said nippy rear strap button to a more suitable place for me. I love practicing with the Spector as is so easy to play when sitting down but not so great standing up at rehearsals.

You know, this thread could end up being a goldmine for folks thinking about getting a custom bass built for them. So much to think about especially getting the nippy thing just right.

Thought I'd add this thread to see what nipped folks about basses? I have a rather lovely Spector Euro LT4 in violin burst, it is gorgeous and sounds amazing due to the Darkglass preamp and Bartolini pups, BUT ... the top horn is not inline with the 12th fret and it throws me off! Coupled with that is the stupid location of the rear strap button! I've gone back to using my trusted and familiar US P. Auld moaning git no1 - Andy PS, happy new year y'all
