    Tube preamp pedal questions/dicussion

    I took a shot and moved from Dark Glass to the ReVolt and I absolutely love it. I run it into my Ampeg VR 200 with the 2x10 cab and it slams.

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I agree, but I do live in Key West. Time and distance keep me from most available luthiers in South Florida. Locally we don't have much offers. Grateful Guitar closed. Dancing Tree wants $60 just for the nut replacement without custom work. Bone Island, who I love, are backed up on major work...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Thanks for the pdf! Unfortunately, it's no longer available, and the actual dimensions are nowhere to be found online. I send what I could to a guy on eBay who makes brass nuts. Fingers crossed we can get a part made. Edit: Found the RBX170 pdf and it also uses part number CB821090 40MM Ivory...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    HELP NEEDED! The nut on my BB614 exploded and went into a dozen pieces. Most of the pieces are lost. I want a new nut made but I cannot find the correct dimensions. Does anyone know the dimensions, or could anyone with a BB614 please measure their nut for me? Thank you!

    inflation and the house i grew up in

    What's fascinating to me about this is that I only know 1 person my age who owns a home. He got it in 2016 and it's worth 2.5x the original price now. It's scary to me when my entire fire station has a crew of 9 and only 1 person owns. All professionals who work careers that are necessary to...

    inflation and the house i grew up in

    I consider myself a "victim" of my boomer parents for they did to me with real estate. I came back to South Florida when I was 21 (2010) to live with my parents due to them having financial and health issues. The housing market crashed and they owed more than what the house was worth. My mother...

    It's the 14/15mm version. The spacing being so tight means a heavier bridge to balance it out would nearly impossible to find, but I think lighter tuners would probably remedy the issue.

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Good morning, BB Club. I've been playing the heck out of my BB5000 lately and swapped from LaBella Gold Flats to my favorite NYXL's. Never been a flats guy, but wanted to try it on the BB since the gold looked good with the gold hardware. Now that I'm playing it more, I'm noticing the neck...

    Budget 35 Inch 5 String Mod Platforms?

    I may have the perfect bass for you. Ibanez BTB 575 already modded with Nordstrand quad coils and nordstrand preamp. I don't have room for it anymore. Hardware needs love. Send me a message if you're interested. I don't want a lot for it.

    Aluminum Neck Club

    I followed it closely online on the Aluminum Facebook groups and it is 100% blown out of proportion and conjecture. The owner is a hunter and a republican. He had a trump flag on his boat on personal FB page and people lost their mind. As far as I can see, he never made any harsh, derogatory or...

    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Good morning guys/girls. The nut on BB614 is shattered and I lost the pieces. If anyone can, please help me with the dimensions so I can order a new one. I can't find any information online. I did find someone who makes replacement nuts for the BB434, but neither he nor I know if that's even...
