Guest MoJo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Once more a tempting bargain has popped up at the other end of the country. Swanage is a 3 1/2 hour drive each way for me. Probably a broken selector switch. I've changed more than one on a BB414 before. A Switchcraft replacement is less than a tenner on ebay and will last almost indefinitely https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-electric-bass-bb414-metallic-orange-good-condition/1146117960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairyu Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It's a shame this is in faraway lands, I've been looking to get one of these to use the pickups for a project bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerds Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 bit strange that it was 'sold' and returned (presumably) on 'bay couple of weeks back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Perhaps the switch got broken in transit and the bass was returned. The original switches are held together by flimsy plastic clips which give up very easily if any downward pressure is put on the switch tip Edited December 14, 2015 by MoJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
