woolf Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) This is my Yamaha BB414. I’ve 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 don’t have the original knobs. It also has a few different screws attaching the tuning machines as some of the originals were stripped. The neck is in unmarked condition but the body has buckle rash and numerous signs or wear and tear. Weight - 4.1kg Sounds and plays great! Price includes UK postage and a cheapy gig-bag.

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 😍 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 Doubt’s “No Doubt” and much of their “Tragic Kingdom” album was a bb1600. the 414 has a very 1600 sound. so much so…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!
