Turk Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Why is this one of the rarest BB's ever ? Well, this one actually has a weak neck !! Just dropped it off to be sorted. Truss rod replaced with a duo-direction jobbie, neck reinforced with two carbon rods, finish restored to pre work condition, electrics checked/serviced and a full set up with strings included. Go on then...let's have some educated guesses at the price. Edited September 25, 2013 by Turk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I dare say it won't be cheap, but it will be so worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Not far off there. £200 to £250 max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Definitely worth it to keep a nice bass alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Greggo' timestamp='1380212436' post='2222414'] Lovely BB. Big fan and I just have the BB414 bet that is a delight to play [/quote] Looking forward to finding out myself. Had it about a year and now I'm getting around to sorting it. Could only use light gauge strings to get a reasonably low action, and even then it wasn't that low. A set of DR Lo-riders will be going on next, which are great on my BB3000.

Turk Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Neck issue is now sorted and It plays nice. I'll use it for a week or so, then take it do my regular techie for a check and tweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
