I can’t help but to alter my lower cost basses. So, this is one of them.
I hated the neck on the BB434, so I sold it, bought a new neck for my other project, threw this MM on the Yamaha, after using a fretless on it for a few months. The MM is a 20 fret (BB434 is a 21) so I had to place the bridge 1/4” back.
Through body is still possible, but the E is 4/5 cents sharp, top load is golden.
I had an ashtray, will still fit, just needs two new screw holes.
I switched the stock tuners for Schallers, which are now on the MM. There is a slight gap on the neck pocket corners, otherwise it is an extremely tight, solid fit.
These basses are a pain to sell, as we all know, so I priced it nice and low. For a low cost bass, it packs a solid punch.
Pickup is definitely preferred.
