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!
