Ah nice, I put a cheeky bid in on this, glad you got it!
I’ve got a second 415 in OM on the way, let’s hope it’s a better specimen than the one I bought the other day . Finally excellent though.

I feel for a £200 bass, it’s not really worth the effort unfortunately. Plus it doesn’t sound like it’s the truss rod, the neck is the shape/condition it is....the truss rod is working fine, just can’t effect the wood any further.

I don’t see that i’ll get anything out of the seller, it was being sold as seen, I saw that it needed a hefty setup in person, and still purchased it. He’s hardly going to hand me back the cash and be stuck with it.
Caveat emptor innit.

It appears I might have bought a lemon with this 415
High action, hella buzzing on the top end and no play at all in the truss rod....and that’s from a guitar tech.
£200 in the hole....any ideas? Will someone likely buy a fully loaded body? Would be nice to get a little back on it!

I’ve had a BB615 before, which was a cool bass, but I wasn’t keen on the preamp.
And the gear purchasing ship sailed back in June lol. I did 6months, so not bad

No, from South London. Did see that one though, was collection only (3 hours from me), and it got a little strange over email....then the South London one came up

Oh hi there! BB415 in the house. Needs a solid setup, but it was £200 so that’s ok. Putting La Bella flats on it.
I’d be interested in any advice on replacement (preferably direct) bridges and lightweight tuners, any thoughts?

Well I think it’s telling that it’s all just been issued to the streaming sites now too. Gearing up for the last push I reckon. If they go on tour, see them now people. Been 10 years since I saw them, by all accounts they were excellent at Download!

I think most will agree this is probably their last, Maynard is 55 and probably isn’t going to feel like running Tool out again in his 60’s.
So I’m appreciating this for everything it is. Hope they do vinyl though!
