woolf Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) This is my Yamaha BB414. Ā Iāve modified it as a poor-mans BB3000 tribute! Gotoh tuning machines and a higher mass Yamaha bridge. I sprayed the other hardware gold as you can see. It has a lovely dark rosewood board. Unfortunately I donāt have the original knobs. It also has a few different screws attaching the tuning machines as some of the originals were stripped.Ā Ā The neck is in unmarked condition but the body has buckle rash and numerous signs or wear and tear. Ā Weight - 4.1kgĀ Ā Sounds and plays great!Ā Ā Price includes UK postage and a cheapy gig-bag. Edited April 4 by woolf Weight added 13
stewblack Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I had a BB. In that beautiful orange colour. I regret selling it immensely. I swore never to be tempted by any other but this is just lovely šĀ 2

Or better still, the JPS 2.8 litre V6 Ford Capri, car of my dreams from approximately ages 12 to 14. I later heard it described as having excellent straight-line speed, including while cornering.

AndyTravis Posted February 5 Posted February 5 No Doubtās āNo Doubtā and much of their āTragic Kingdomā album was a bb1600. Ā the 414 has a very 1600 sound. Ā so much soā¦I kept my 414 and sold my 1600 2
jonno1981 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I love my 414! That middle pickup position is superb. Nice upgrades!
