allighatt0r Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's not quite a BB414x, but there are a few Yamaha BB's in the for sale section on here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=129217"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=129217[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=145861"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=145861[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchman Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I've been gigging a white 414 to death for five years or so now. I think the 'x' just has a pickguard added. I'd say the neck was more Jazz than Precision, but then again Jazzes can vary. I just compared it to my P-bass special, late '90's Mexi, which has a Jazz neck. Near identical. So the answer to your question is yes. Very loud, and rather heavy, in the case of mine. But I love it. As to current availability and colours, I have generally found the Yamaha UK website to be decently up to date and a good indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
