  1. I think I’ve said this before and been corrected. They “look” narrower or something. i don’t know - the 414 sounds and looks like a 1600, the 1600 to me is peak BB. I played a couple of 3000’s and they’re less exciting than I thought. The 1600 was easily the best bolt on bass I’ve ever played. So stupid to sell it. STUPID
  2. theyre slightly narrower - like someone’s skewed a photo…
  3. I have 614/414 ive owned 424/424x/1024x as well as the older 1100/1600 etc. The older ones are amazing, I regret selling the 1100s in sunburst, the 1600 in natural still kills me that it’s gone… Never entertained the 434 etc. Although my local pmt have a lovely p34 in blue burst and I got the glad eye quickly. didnt play it because I didn’t have the £1200 or whatever it is.
  4. Is basically a 414 with different pickup configuration
  5. 424x isn’t far off the same as 414. Having owned both at the same time…the 414 stayed. The necks are subtly deeper, and pickups are the same. 1024x I had in caramel was a beauty…still not 100% sure why I sold that. I do remember thinking the pickups were woolier/warmer than the 414 and at the time I wanted spanky bright sounds - in my current band, i suspect the 1024 would work wonderfully. Quality wise - it was “nicer” but definitely not twice as good (for twice the price).

  7. Now then…given my propensity for all things I don’t need…🫣
  8. having just swapped out some CV P pickups for a Lakland USA unit - there’s not huge amounts in it!
  9. With @Pow_22 now 😉
  10. That’s hard not to fall in love with
  11. I’ve got one of these coming Gratis on Saturday via my drummer… is there a company making the SM7 sleeve @petetexas or was it just a lucky find? Andy
  12. Out again…I suck at this game.
  13. If it’s the guy I think it is - he’s a big lad, 6’5/6 and doesn’t skip any dinners. Looks like a WWE wrestler
  14. Big bloke…this is me playing a GG4 a few years ago (for reference I’m 5’10”) Bloody great basses…
  15. Think those days are gone now 😞
  16. It’s really manageable actually, little deeper than the Yamaha’s, but slimmer than I expected. Sort of halfway between a jazz and a P.
  17. Chap on Facebook looking for similar https://www.facebook.com/groups/992440637527378/permalink/6527776857327034/
  18. I have had 1000’s of basses, 50 of which have been Yamaha BB’s. 🫣 the size and “ars3” of the ripper is very similar to a BB, the horns are in slightly different positions. sound wise it’s comparing apples and oranges. both have their jobs…and they live in harmony in the rack.
  19. Rehearsal room was about -1 degrees today…hence the coat.
  20. My bank balance knows more than I do…unfortunately
  21. I know mate. I’d love to have it, but it doesn’t sit with the band etc. Also. Few quid short unless I start selling. And it’s right up the road (5 miles away 🫣)
  22. Amazon search “goggly eyes” incoming…😂
  23. Mk1 Cruise Bass
