MoJo

Quite fancy one of these

I’ve not played a 435 but, from videos I’ve watched, they don’t nail the 415/425 tone that keeps me coming back to them

It was good to meet you, if rather briefly. I'm glad you're enjoying the Camel

No mate, this one Only £75. Someone beat me to it. Thought it was you when you said Aria

You bought that? Damn! I just missed out on that and only just up the road from me

Neither lol. They’re SM66 Stainless 40-60-80-100

Rotosound 66 Swing Bass or Fender 7250

The BB1500a. I wish I’d hung onto that one

I’ve owned an estimated 14 x BB414’s (including the two I currently own), 3 x BB415’s, 2 x BB424’s, 2 x BB425’s, and 1 x BB1024 but I’ve never owned a BB614 I’ve also owned 3 x BB300, 1 x BB350F, 1 x BB404, 2 x BB405, 1 x BB1100s and 1 x BB1500a You could say that I’m quite fond of Yamaha BB’s

Nowhere near me either. I have a friend who has an identical 614 that he doesn’t play any more. He’s switched to short scale. Perhaps I should ask him if he’s interested in selling it

I wondered if a 614 with the EQ set flat would sound like a 414

Thank goodness for @AndyTravis's BB Radar. That's all I can say. I thought I'd take this opportunity to raise a question that I've always wanted to ask. The pickups in the 414 and 614 seem to be identical. I imagine they are exactly the same pickups. In which case, if a 614 had a active/passive switch fitted, it would be possible in theory to create the BB614s, combining the best of both models. Am I correct?

I've PM'd you

I've always replaced mine with a Switchcraft equivalent. The original switches can be glued. I have a couple in my tool box that have been glued back together with superglue and the repair seems incredibly strong.

Lovely
