Re: Selmer 1430LP Bass?

Also try the Jupiter bass if you get a chance. It has the low Eb key on the body instead of having a separate bell key and the bell has a vent hole for the low Eb, so you won't have to worry about the bell being lined up as precisely as basses with a bell key. Other than that, the design is fairly similar to the Vito and Yamaha 221 bass.

There are also Vito basses stencilled as Yamaha USA before Yamaha began making their own 200 series basses. The plastic Normandy basses are the same as Vito basses.

If the Selmer 1430LP is basically the same as the Selmer Bundy/Buescher Aristocrat/B&H Regent bass, then their build quality is far more crude compared to the Vito bass.
