Curious - what kind of stain did you use? End result looks fantastic!
I've always wanted to do something like this using Keda wood dyes.

Was having a lot of noise on the J bridge pickup of my BB234--just installed a Aguilar 4PJ-HC pickup set in it...notes sound great, and otherwise, it's silent as a tomb. Used the Aguilar VVT wiring diagram.
I put the Agie J HC's in my BB404 with an oil cap. Sounds so freaking good!!
Strung up the BB424X with 45-100 EB Cobalt flats. Sounds massive through my chain with plenty brightness on tap. The stock Yamaha pickups really put out a nice full-range signal and the cobalts are a great match for this very musical sounding bass. Always hunting for the hidden gems out there, I struck gold once again. It ain't a feather weight though, so there's that. Don't care, it's worth the extra effort.
I put Delanos in my BB605 and I like it. But I have Aguilar pickups in my Fender Jazz bass and I am always thinking about switching the Delanos for Aguilars
Man the BB424X in red is probably one of my favourite basses.
I have Delano's in a Warwick Streamer I just picked up last week. I like them very much but the HC's in the Alder body on the 404 give it such a classic vibe but beefed up. I know a cap is a cap but I think there's also some MOJO in the NOS oil cap. It just sounds like buttery carmel. Warm and smooth. They have a great top end as well. Not at all harsh. I tried a bunch of differant pickups in that bass both active and passive and the HC's just...well they were the one.
The Bass The World YouTube channel put out a review video of the P35 in one of the new colors. Mostly stuff about the features we are already familiar with, but I'm drooling over this color. If I had the money....
Thats really nice!! Never met a Yamaha BB that I didn't like.
Wondered who was gonna finally buy that.
Hey everybody,
I‘m looking for a Yamaha BB2024x in Sunburst!!! Does anybody sell one or know where I can get one from?
I can also put a BB1024x plus extra money on the table if somebody wants to trade
Best,
Chris

I don't know where are you located, but bass gallery London has 2 2024X in stock right now, 1 is a natural, 1 is a sunburst.
Thank you for that!
Unfortunately, I‘m nowhere nere London, I‘m from Austria.
Just checked them out, these are 2024 not 2024x, so without the pickguard, but thank you so much for mentioning them here.
No problem at all. Cheers from the neighborhood
Also: what is your issue with the 1024x, why do you want to replace it?
Absolutely no issue with the 1024x. I also have a BBp34 and a BB434. All three are awesome. I love the BBs. But I just want to have a 2024x in sunburst so badly
What would be a god price for a 1988 MIT BB3000a. All original, with case and only 2 owners. I was hoping it was MIJ but not sure it makes that much of a difference. Have a chance to grab one locally but not sure if the price is a bit high. Thanks!

I know what you mean, having a BBP35 and a BB1025X myself. The BB2024/5X is for me a modern pinacle of the Yamaha line, even though my BB1025X is probably 90% of it. The heart wants what it wants.
GHS Super Steels. Not overly zingy up top, but a good, strong mid character.
