    Price Drop - £230 or £250 delivered sound fair?
  2. BassApprentice
    But the Nords are in the Blue finish below it? The SR500N-MAM
  3. BassApprentice
    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?
  6. BassApprentice
    Adding photos to show back and tiny knocks on the front.
  7. BassApprentice
    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.

    Great thing about Ibanez is consistent quality and very reasonable used prices. You'll find a bargain if you keep your eyes peeled.

    I haven't played a bass with this short a scale, but I know ACG and Alpher make basses like this too. So you'd think they would be playable without suffering from the more compact scale My first thought is contact Newtone and see what options they can do for 23" scale.

    I'm going to say this is the first time someone has complained about marks on a reliced bass 😂 But jokes aside, I do understand that it doesn't quite look like aged wear. However, after a bit of extra playing it should fade into the distance.

    Any chance of a picture of the bass? I can probably guess what Harley Benton it is, but always easier to pass comment if people know which bass it is.

    Love these. Super versatile and the necks on these are brilliant. Don't reckon Santa is bringing me one, but someone is getting a great bass here!

    Similar to Hiscox - it will emerge in a slightly different form. As others have said, you just don't see them on stages anymore. I wonder if they are more frequently used for recording than we are aware of... Definitely a brand that needs a shot in the arm as I am sure they are quality instruments, even if they aren't "cool"

    Anything from the Merry Axemas albums. Bit of a nostalgia when I was discovering bass and liked a bit of slap and shred guitars.

    This has been stuck in my head for the past 3 days. Would absolutely love to be in a band like this.
  19. BassApprentice
    Big bass or small person? 😅 If it is as big as the pictures show, I'm sure that will sound massive!

    Ashdown put the Capri on the hot wash and shrunk it a bit. 23" scale now https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/basses-22/products/roasted-capri-23

    Seems it is the same company https://www.bladeguitars.com/blade-history/blade-history

    The pursuit for lightweight basses I presume. It could just be here - but you'll notice one of the first questions asked on a sale advert is "What's the weight?". Headless basses by nature, tend to be lighter. Even websites like Sweetwater show the weight of nearly every bass they have in stock so the buyer can choose the option that suits them. It's also provides a more modern look IMO. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea. Nice to have options though!

    I'd refer you to the BB mega thread - 394 pages all about Yamaha BBs 😅 https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/302794-the-yamaha-bb-mega-thread/#comment-3263093

    The first VS5 Superlight with swamp ash. Not bad.
  25. BassApprentice
    Whilst the colour isn't to my liking - the rest of the work looks great. Quite a convincing relic job, although the neck has no reason to be so worn after the 7th fret! 😂😉
