What number member are you.

It was a picture I took in March when I was at the guitar/bass show “do you look smart?” - the lanyard obviously confused the genius AI and it put a face on it.

It’s no use 😂

Hahah; chat GPT - proving that the human touch is still a relevance…

Fiver’s in the post 😆

“You’ve got basses on your website like mine but with tortoiseshell pickguards…can I buy one from you?”

Anyhow - pre boxing binge, I’ve been messing about and have recorded something as a laugh… https://on.soundcloud.com/PUA4PStrTsRuqcQY8 Don’t ask me how I had it set, I had beer in hand.

Well, I got a reply from Soloking asking me if I bought my basses from Andertons…I haven’t heard anything since confirming 🤨

Sooo. Flats for Black - I seemed to recall a set of fender flats I had came with Black silks, went to collect a second case/rack thing from local PMT and picked up some fender flats… green silks. its ok, I’ll live. i have oiled both fingerboards too as they looked dusty rather than rich. both look gorgeous now. worth 5 mins taking the stings off.

1100s is a belting bass - I’ve had 2. I preferred the earlier one with the squared pickup surround. Also had a bb450 which is the passive version

I had a bb1600, the 414 gets close - just doesn’t feel as special… similar sound quality though.

Ace work to all. i forgot to submit planned entry because i was too busy being ousted from a band i didn’t really want to be in…😏 voted - but they were all really cool takes x

Imagine if I’d bought a blue to defret… I haven’t. 😆

Yeah. I want to say 41mm

The 414/614 necks are shallower than the 424/1024/2024 but single action truss rod

Been with me for years. It’s seen off every BB I’ve ever owned. Still needs a fret dress 😣

Nah - plays great, looks ace - was a bargain, needs love. It’s home now. Yeah - the usual sparky bridge pickup seems lifeless/dark. will open it up…at some point. I’m sure it’s just a wire on the wrong doofer on the switch. etc.

Busy day…

Done

Great white BB414 at ridiculous bargain price = happy me. apparently needs some electrical fettlement…but it looks balls ace.

Ooh tort… have they got an e-mail address?!

No business being this nice at £150 even at £500, as people have said… well. There we go.

Ah. Ok. I got free postage…weirdly

Have they gone up £7?!

I will be checking them over tomorrow - if they’re workable… black is getting a tort guard and flats. they’ll live at the studio.
