Nice! Many happy returns! I tried one in a shop which was a bit of a lemon (either battery or bad wiring) so I can't give much input. How's the balance? On the knee it felt a bit headstock heavy due to tiny body and larger headstock.

Price Drop - £230 or £250 delivered sound fair? -
Looks a great starting point - for me I'd go for a L-1000 route. Whilst you have 2 pickups, you can still pickup an Tribute L-2000, so you'd be building a budget L-1000 which you cant get. And if you want to offload that spare pickup - I might be interested 😂

Have to say @skelf is doing some great work with these new body shapes. Sure it plays as good as it looks!

Ooops! Didn't see that thread after a quick look. Good spot from you though!

A smaller, simpler version of the GX series. Like the form factor a lot. https://www.boss.info/us/products/gx-1b/

But the Nords are in the Blue finish below it? The SR500N-MAM
-
Some new models/finishes for the SR range - have to say the SR500 finishes look good. Just a shame you can't have the Nordstrands in the Mahogany finish.

Or Markbass. Truth is, it is very hard to design a headstock that isn't a Fender style or one that most think is awful.

Maybe not overly helpful, but would switching out the tuners for ultralights on one not get you close to saving that 0.5kg?

Adding photos to show back and tiny knocks on the front.

So three different model numbers - but they are all basically the same price. That's weird.

I see they didn't have the budget for stacked knobs.... I don't hate it, but 6 knobs and a switch is a lot...

PRICE DROP - £230 OR £250 DELIVERED Picked this up from here last year and it's had very little play since. Looks great on the wall mind! With a small baby in the flat, 3 four string basses is probably excessive since I don't get the time. It is a Yamaha BB414. Nice slim neck, plays great and sounds great too. It's had the hardware changed to gold and the pickup surround has been sprayed gold. Think the fact it's a matte finish stops it being too flashy. Had a bit of wear on the back from previous owners but the front is in very good condition. Currently strung with reasonably new light rounds (no idea of brand/gauge) I'll try and source a box across the next few days but collection/meet up would be handy.

If they dont officially, earlpilanz on eBay is your guy.
