Had a choice of these two open box deals. Love a 'burst finish but went with the black as it was unmarked, slightly lighter and had the nicer feeling neck. Early days but it seems like another quality Yammy

Although not mentioned, 9050 are really good flats.
But they need proper breaking in to do them justice. They're quite toppy at first but this gives way to more thump as time goes on. Worth waiting for. I'd advise top loading.
Now then, back on topic..?
sorry for the hijack. back to it guys...

No mention of Fender Flats in this thread that I can see
Si
apologies a previous search found your clip of 9050s
-
Ive just ordered some fender flats based on that sound clip. Tried Labella and really like them so might go back if these dont do it for me. Did you have the 9050s through bridge or body? I have the option of both. Used the bridge with the labellas as thats recommended but dont want to lose my ferrules!
-
John bought some labella deep talking flats from me. Absolute pleasure
-
payment pending.....
-
Labella fl760FL flats used for 1 praccy. Cut for a pbass (what else!)

P bass almost went on ebay, I got it out the case and wanted to keep it, then did the same with the jazz! will let one go but wont be dropping the price I think £900 delivered for a top draw USA J or P is a fair price for a bass with custom shop pups, HMV bridge, lightweight tuners, graphite reinforced neck and OHSC

Im feeling a lot of love for the P bass and had some interest in the J but still available. maybe its a sign? maybe i NEED both?

This was mine and is one of the early ones with a genuine badass ii and is a nice light weight for an ash body. very good P basses these.GLWTS

Over 20 basses offered in trade, some a little more realistic than others
.
4 people fundraising to buy this.
Still here though.
Probably going to remove if it's still here next weekend as it would appear this uncommon bass is not quite desirable enough for folk to bite the bullet.

I feel your pain Karl, lots of beautiful basses on here at reasonable prices but lots of tyre kicking too I'm afraid. GLWTS -
P bass is also a svelte 3.8kg
-
Been asked for the weight of the Jazz its 3.8kg by bathroom scales method and feels very comfy for a few hours gigging

Any trades on these?
[/quote]
really after a sale of one of these fine beauties. might be tempted by a clean bb2000 plus a little cash my way but sale preferred. BTW these two will be on view bank holiday Monday if your about in Liverpool

I haven`t touched the set up on mine since I bought it. I have kept the stock strings on it as well which is unusual for me. Glad you are liking it.
my 1025 was set up superbly and like you I left the set up and string and it sounded very powerful -
Congratulations - enjoy!
I've just seen an "end of line" Yamaha BB425 on sale for £289! This is going for less than half the price of the new BB435. The new model has an extra volume control, is a bit lighter and thinner and has possibly better pups.
I probably won't notice the additional volume control, but does anyone know the difference in weight between the 425s and 435s and how much of an upgrade to the pups the new models are bringing?
I don't know the difference in weight or pups but know that the 424/425 is a very good PJ bass and at that price is an absolute steal. sure its not spline jointed etc but neither are the wonderful vintage and modern P basses we all love.The new ones are really growing on me and having a jazz i like the idea of a PJ bass with VVT controls however the 425 is a true BB in the traditional sense and a bass that can cut it with models costing many times more -
Sorry guys these are so good that I would keep both if I wasn't trying to free some money up. graphite reinforced necks. Custom shop pups etc. I'm really happy with them.

[color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I picked these two lovelies up just as stock was reduced to £1099 to clear out to make room for the new fender USA Pro range. These are both just over 6 months old the Jazz is a US16 and the P a US14 serial number. Both bought brand new and unused, both are completely stock and have OHSCs and unused case goodies. They have all the best features of the latest 2012 series USA fenders, ultra light weight tuners, graphite reinforced necks, HMV string through bridge (better than a badass IMHO) and custom shop PUPs.[/font][/color]
[color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Both now have the film removed from the pickguards and tuners and have had light use only.[/font][/color]
[color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I have been alternating between both and they are both Fab but my hankering for a new carbon bike means I am considering parting with one and sticking with the other.
.
happy to keep either the Bruce Foxton or Bobby Vega and am sure I will instantly regret letting one go!
can send PIcs of either to genuine interested parties, just DM me.[/font][/color]
[color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]think a hit of £200 in 6 months is enough so £900 will get one of these beauties posted to your (UK) door.[/font][/color]

looks good and I had seen it but despite having sold a bass locally through gumtree I'm a bit sketchy about sending cash to someone miles away. Much prefer the niceties of BC!
