[quote=doubledenim][Font=century gothic]You have my blessing on whichever slap-axe makes you happy.

Under one condition.

You buy the shortest strap you can find and play it on your chest.

[quote=John McClane]Yeah, I mainly like the finish of the 734 and having the option to go active. I’m leaning towards the 434 because of affordability.

After watching a lot of videos and doing a lot of reading I can say that I am definitely in the passive pickup camp. Not saying I won’t ever go active one day but all the stuff I want to play is pre-active pickup, so passive pickup is all I need.

Happy to say I’ve discovered my sound.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]Either should be good. I have an old 2004ish BB604 (I think) natural finish and loved it. I don't remember the wood, but that model was very light and agile. comfy. still have it. you'll need a battery in that 734 model, depending on what switch you use. Also, not sure the EQ is worth the extra cash considering you can add EQ via the amp if it has it and/or a plugin with whatever you're recording with. If you're interested in used, you might find one much cheaper at GC online.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]And I am already looking for a new bass guitar. Gotta get back on one soon.

Love this acoustic I traded for but my bass amp is whispering to me: "Feed me."[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I just love it when I waste a few hours trying to fix some technology issue. Then I figure out the solution and it takes 5 minutes and I say to myself "Come on, you should have known that one."[/quote]
