  2. Just bought Muzz’z Yamaha BB414 well used but in good condition and as described. Muzz helped with all my enquiries and gave me a very fair price. Really well packaged and dispatched as we had planned which helped me too. Great Basschatter so thanks again Muzz 👍👏👏👏👏. Quent
  3. Now PMd. Please delete above replies if necessary.
  4. Hi, These are still for sale ( March 2025 ) I took these tuners off my 2016 Spector NT4 and replaced with Gotoh Gold GB707 , hence photo to show Drop In compatibility. Just home use by myself for a few months ( I bought bass new in 2018) before putting the gold set on. So excellent condition and very little use. They’ve cleaned up as well as the other same size set I’m now selling (£45) on here , just no Spector Logo on these. The diagram dimensions are accurate in the photo. I have digital calipers. Just had to change a couple of dimensions on a Wilkinson open gear diagram. £40 includes UK postage. 2L-2R Weight 238g Cheers. Quent
  5. Hi. I can’t recommend Steve more highly as a seller after buying his Schecter Hellraiser Extreme recently. We had problems with DPD not updating the whereabouts of the bass for 2 1/2 days but Steve did all he could to chase them and keep me informed and was always on the case. Great communications throughout and when the bass came it was perfectly protected in a hard case and double boxed , OH and bubble wrapped within the hardcase! Basically Steve couldnt have been more helpful and reassuring with a bit of banter for good measure. Description and specs very thorough and loads of good photos. All queries answered pronto too. A top guy and an accomplished player , he knows his stuff and looked after his well gigged bass , excellent condition. Thanks again Steve. I really appreciate all your help and care. Quent
  6. Thanks Steve. It’s a stunning example with just the one issue needing technical expertise. Hence me expecting a techno wizz to buy it OR someone with a luthier mate to sort it gratis. It’ll be a cracker once sorted. It’s only 2 ounces more than my BB614. Cheers 👍
  7. Hi. Original wording further below but after some work here is an……… UPDATE - since posting I’ve clamped neck 48hrs in 45 deg conservatory plus hairdryer following luther advice - truss rod loosened, cradles for neck - cool overnight before releasing clamp - adjust and leave 24hrs - DONE!! Probably not enough heat but I’ll leave that to one of you Pros. Result is that neck was very straight ( there was only a 1mm back bow anyway) and current adjustment is as follows with no buzz except on B string beyond 15th fret which isn’t an issue. Relief under 7th fret ( fretted at 1st and 16th fret ) is 15 thou. String heights above 12th fret ( when fretted at first ) are as follows B 2.3mm E 2.2mm A 2.1mm D 2.0mm G 1.9mm No buzz 👍 I’m STILL Pricing this down for someone with the technical ability to have a look at this neck which did have a little back bow but now adjusted with heat.Bass now playing fine so might take this listing down, keep the bass or sell elsewhere. Otherwise this 2007 Old Violin Sunburst Yamaha is in excellent condition with just one shallow scratch on the front near the top horn ( see close up photo ) and some tiny dints in the gloss though gloss not broken, very small.Couple of very small scuffle marks on back of neck close to body pocket must have done accidentally setting up the clamping. I’ll keep monitoring the set up as only unclamped this morning ( Thurs 3rd July) and it may keep settling. Message me if you want the latest. Weight is 4.28kg , 9lbs 7oz so a great weight for a Fiver. Alder body. Serial Number QNL313079 so made in May 2007. Brand new set of D’Addario nickel roundwounds on it, 125 100 80 65 45. I got ahead of myself and have taken delivery of a superb earlpilanz ( Ebay ) vintage cream pick guard , shown but not fitted , no screw holes. If you would like this please ADD £25 to the price ( £37.50 I paid ). The bass is as clean and tidy as it looks, the fret board is oiled and frets are polished. As I’ve successfully straightened the neck since listing a few days ago I will still let this go for £250 inc UK delivery for a few days only. (£25 to add if you want the New Earlpilanz vintage cream pickguard) I bought this in April , apart from me fitting a better ( IMO ) string tree it has all standard parts, and have played it fine apart from the back bow meaning a high action initially but now a nice low action since sorting the neck. The truss rod is now righty tightened a good way but not fully. So this is nicely playable as it is now. I took it to Steve Barratt at guitarlodge.co.uk and he recommended his heat treatment method to sort the neck and possibly shimming the truss rod. My DIY effort has not involved a nut shim so I must have been lucky with my clamping work. The NUT is stiffish but no problem with a longer armed allen key. I’ve known stiffer ones that do their job. I decided to drop out of the Pro work as one of you guys can do that for Free ! I also have a BB614 in Old Violin Sunburst so I might as well lose some money on this and look for a different finish BB615. Thanks for looking 🤓 and best to snap this up before I withdraw it as its playing so nicely now and the Yamaha pickups sound awesome with the very useable Yamaha QC87550 Preamp. Cheers. Quent I’ll double box this. No gigbag.
  8. Hi. I’ve just had a Glockenklang 3 band put into my 2005 BB614 which I bought from Slapmonsta last Dec. He said prev owner Shepster had had the standard preamp modified to include a push/pull volume pot which pops the bass into passive mode. Apart from one older looking pot the shafts on the others look a lot newer with bright looking shafts. Spacing of the B,Mids, Treb pots on the board are 32mm and 32mm. The board says Yamaha QC87550 This is a great option because the Yamaha pickups have legendary power and passive tone. Note - there isn’t Tone control in passive mode but it’s a quality sound and you can blend the pickups for variation anyway. ** The only caveat ( which Slapmonsta kindly alerted me to ) is that with full volume in active mode , when you pull up the knob for passive the volume drops a lot BUT when you roll OFF the volume control just a little , the volume leaps back to match the full volume of active mode. ** None of us (owners) know why this is but it’s easy to roll off the volume. Priced accordingly and includes UK mainland delivery. I have another BB614/5 for sale like this ( another Glock mod ) which is Standard ( No passive ) so you might prefer that and it has the vol and blend larger knobs with it ( £30 inc delivery ). Cheers. Quent.
