mic mac moe Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi guys! Does anyone know of a suitable replacement bridge for a yamaha bb414? I have heard folk mention a gotoh,but would a badass II do the job? I just want to coax a bit more bottom out of it.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 A Badass would be perfect - the BB bridges are almost identical to Fender Mex bridges, they have the same screw holes but the baseplate is about 5mm deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic mac moe Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thank you.I have been looking at those on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 When I replaced the bridge on my old BB614 it did make a big difference.. so go for it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic mac moe Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks very much.I read somewhere about the Gotoh going on Yams and they are about half the price.Trouble is,no one seems to have one! I think the badass route is probably for me.They seem to be more readily available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifeq Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I was thinking about this one for my bb414: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARD-TAIL-BASS-GUITAR-BRIDGE-THROUGH-BRIDGE-CH-BK_W0QQitemZ200204151774QQihZ010QQcategoryZ42455QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARD-TAIL-BASS-GUITA...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] hadn't chance to do it though.

MileBG Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hello there! I recently bought Yamaha BB615 and want to replace the bridge,I guess thhen the Badass V will fit too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've got a GOTOH like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-chrome-GOTOH-bass-bridge-upgrade-your-Fender_W0QQitemZ260217423023QQihZ016QQcategoryZ41407QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m122"]this one [/url]on my BB614 and it was a cinch to fit. Took old one off and put new one in its place - holes all lined up. Recommended. I think with the BadAss you have to file the string slots too which is more hassle.

MileBG Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am only worried about H string ,on my Yamaha bridge H string sadle is in 35 inch scale, it is longer than other strings,I am just worried that if I put 34 inch bridge it will loose tension on H string.
