    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    I have no idea about the weight, I just use it for recording at home so it doesn't matter to me. And yeah, anything with a humbucker will sound OK, but this one definitely sounds a bit darker and rounder than my other guitars which suits me fine. I have 66 as the fatest string, don't remember...

    I have a revstar 320, really nice guitar but I have some problems with intonation since I put on heavy gauge strings and tuned down. It has a great sound for more doom/sludge metal with original pickups :)

    Lo Thank you! They look good but I'm slightly worried that the B-string will feel flimsy since it's 130 and I have 135 now and feel it could be tighter. But maybe it differs from different brands?

    Hello! I'm looking for some input regarding strings for my 434. I have it tuned to BEAD and sometimes go drop A. Right no I have cheap Warwick Red Label 045-135 on it and they sound kinda dull, also I think the B-string gets a bit loose when dropping down to A. So have anyone any suggestion for...
