Hi bassdude1.
Why would you be wondering if P-Bass hardware will fit on your Invalid Link Removed?
From what I've read on another forum, Yamaha makes a darn good bass!
In fact every Yamaha-made product I've encountered so far has been excellent!

You just need to change the batteries...

Not quite as epic as the "crons" post! Does it should be so!
I think he gets the award for being the youngest TB-er, as far as I know at least.

I have the same bass you're talking about and especially with you being 11 years old, you don't need to change anything in it. After i'm able to create a steady flow of cash coming into my pockets, i'll get a new one and THEN i plan on upgrading this one. At your age, you're not gonna need something spectacular. And FWIW, there is also more to basses than just Fender. WAAAYYYYYYYYY more..
Very much so.
RUSTY! STOP!
Turtle kid is mine!
I agree. There have been a lot of odd posts lately.

I started playing when I was ten. My first bass was a junky short scale les paul copy.
My second bass was a cort precision copy. I modded the heck out of it! I learned a lot about the mechanics and electronics of bass guitars in general by working on my bass.
If you're looking at putting Fender hardware on your bass, do a little research first, but go for it! I'm not sure if Fender machine heads will fit, but I doubt it. I think the shafts are a lot smaller on your Yamaha. The bridge will probably work - I believe both the Yamaha and the Fender mount with 5 screws in the same places. I wouldn't mess with that, though - you won't notice much difference.
On the other hand, you've got a bass with a precision pickup and a jazz pickup. Go pickup shopping! Get some parental assistance, but if you can, get a soldering iron and do the work yourself. There's plenty of people here that can walk you through whatever you need help with!
Repair and modification is a big part of learning about the bass. Don't let all the doodie heads on this board keep you from learning!
