Oooh that will look mint. How much (roughly) is it costing you? Always liked the idea of blinging my white 425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one several months ago and have been blown away by it, especially at the price point! It has been my main gigging bass since I got it. Having owned numerous Yamaha basses in the past, this is exactly what you'd expect, and although I never owned a 42x series, this seems like quite a step up from the 41x/61x series. The neck profile is sublime, and the pickups are what really steps it up for me, they're incredible! Well, they're basically the same as on the P35 and 735, so they should be good! Hope you enjoy it as much as I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked the idea of blinging my white 425 It is not a cheap trick.. 😛 It will cost me 70 Euros for the two frames. But because I own several BBs I can always switch if the 414 should be on the market some day again. At least it will be real gold Did someting like that to my bb1000ma some years ago, that's where the bridge and the tuners come from. Have to look for a pic of that bass with gold hardware...

Muzz Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Was in PMT this afternoon trying out small combos (see my ongoing search for something loud and light in another thread*), and the first bass I was handed was an £899 Precision (not sure of exact model), which was just awful in pretty much every way, including having considerable and surprising neck dive. I gave my opinion of it, and was handed a 434, which was soooo much better. A nice slim neck, too - big improvement on the 1024X. If I closed my eyes I wanted one, but then I opened my eyes...and no, sadly, I'm far too shallow... TL:DR - 434 necks are slim and very very nice; £900 new Precisions are rubbish. Oh, and they had a Fireglow 4003 hiiiigh up on the wall for £3349. Yep, you heard that right: pushing £3.5k for a bog-stock Rick... * If you're interested, the winner was the new Ashdown Studio 15. Weighs nowt (26lbs, IIRC), plenty of ooomph, very compact. Ashdown have gone for the Rumbles directly, and from what I heard, got it right.

crabman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 If that BB435 doesn't quite do it for you then you can always move it on to me! I am downsizing from my BBP35 as I just don't play enough 5 string to justify keeping a £1000 guitar on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 I should have added that the black headstock works a treat on that burst finish in a way that doesn't quite on the midnight blue... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy with it on my teal blue, but I personally think they should've just left the headstock natural as per the 42x series, makes more sense for different colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to make of the 2024X That chrome really shows off the difference in the forearm contour on the Japanese models - it’s more of a straight line on the 1024X, like the natural BB next to it.

I have a black BBG5s with gold hardware that I bought new in the nineties, it was my only bass until the Internet came along.
