I’m sure this has been sold on basschat before.

I’d guess warping in single piece necks is a 1/1000 if not less issue. Maintenance, correct storage and stuff like that... I owned a Jaydee with a multi laminate neck which was probably the least stable neck I’ve owned. 🤷🏻‍♂️

415 was orange... I really didn’t feel any benefit to a multi laminate neck. Same pickups, bridge, wiring, body woods, neck join... Same player, same basslines. In fact they were so similar, I shoved flats on the 415 and ended up not using it as much...but to justify taking the two to gigs. A bad multi laminate neck or a good non laminated neck... I do fancy a 424x just to have that pickguard/metal plate look. And red was the least dull colour they did.

But then again, I owned a 425/415 at the same time and liked both equally...and out of all of the BB’s I’ve owned - the 414 remains, and I preferred it to the “superior” 1024x. All subjective really.

Collect only. Shame - only realised it was collect after sending the link to @lee650

Hope that’s not the only finish available “post sprout toilet bowl” isn’t that appealing...

Must’ve been told to remove them...haven’t cleared up their Google ads yet though 😉

The 2024 had a lot of clever bits going on with the body join etc, more expensive to make. Too expensive probably - especially with the 1024 at about £600/£700 I suppose the p34 sits between 1024/2024 in real terms.

Hard that - sort of the 2024

Aye, and chrome bit.

Well...from initial destination to dealer.

My Japan Metroline is the same as this.

And I let them go. Typical

My SB-1000 had a dead pickup. I found an MB sized aria pickup from a “laser” model aria and had it fitted. Had exposed polepieces in a P configuration. I much preferred my SB-700 - it sounded like the setting I used the most on the 1000. God damn it. That 700...

Ratuia replacement pickup is a fair idea too - he makes all sorts and you won’t have to modify the body.

I wouldn’t personally. the preamp is a reversible mod. The pickup routing is not. Find a more battered aria for that. You've made me cry about my sb700. 😞

I just added a Babicz FCH-3 to a Jack Casady - the difference was massive. I have added badass 2 bridges to lots of fender basses and found there to be some difference, but how much of that was down to larger footprint of contact or added mass - I don’t know. I do think they look loads better than a bbot if nothing else.

Nope

£300 is top dollar - and it’s been messed with.

Can’t mate. It got close...some other things won.

It’s red

That is cool. Chronos from Venom had a Jazz Bass like this in about 1997. That little riff with the high note is a real ear worm.

Happy Jack Day x

Wow. They weren’t even that much new.
