    Is there a Yamaha BB club? There is now!

    Thank you so much for the info about the schematics. I’m not a luthier and I would love to hear experience from users that tried this mod. I really want to keep the string-thru option on my BB435 so that’s why I’m considering the 404BO-5. I also like the high mass bridges because of the placebo...

    Parts build: Who makes short scale necks? Other advice?

    Got one of those (is actually 19 frets) and love it! A mexican fender mustang PJ limited edition butterscotch blonde. Upgraded with gotoh bridge, dimarzio pickups, concentric knobs, kill switch and ultralite bass extender and pegs. Just need another beast for chords, melodies and solos.

    Parts build: Who makes short scale necks? Other advice?

    woah! Thank you so much! That would be amazing. Since fitting an existing body might be problematic I’m contacting Rosser guitars in order to make a custom body that might fit the neck without modifications (they even offer gorgeous thinline jaguar bass bodies). Do you think a 16mm music man...

    Sorry for reviving this old thread. I just want to know about your experience with the ebay seller you mentioned. Is this neck going to fit any fender bass body? A 5 or 4 string? Is it necessary to make adjustments to the oroginal y bridge position? Thank you so much.

    The Official Ibanez TMB Talman Bass Club

    Hey guys. I got a question, I want to get a six string short scale on the budget and I was thinking purchasing a TMB35 and modding it to a 6 string. My main concern is the bridge. For those who own a TMB35: do you think 16mm string spacing would be enough? Or should I go with a shorter string...
