If they dont officially, earlpilanz on eBay is your guy.

+1 to this! I had my clear and mint pickguard made by him.

Anyone with a BB434M who wants to swap their maple neck to a rosewood one? I'm SW19 (London) based but can travel a bit and meet halfway.

Looking to do this to my project bass. The modding continues. Will then change to lollipop tuners for aesthetics and add a clear ramp. Highly inspired by Vincen Garcia's custom. So I'm going the route where this Yammy is what I'll call mine. Love the Sonic blue and similar finishes so much as it's my fave colour.

Current one

Have any of you ever come across a BBP35 that weighs 4kg? I would absolutely love one but they all seem to be around 4.5kg as far as I can tell

Maybe not overly helpful,  but would switching out the tuners for ultralights on one not get you close to saving that 0.5kg? 

Not sure, they are described as being lightweight so I could possibly save a bit not drivable not 0.5kg. I think Gotoh resolites would look nice if they fitted

I auditioned one in the Gallery. They play, feel and sound amazing but they are quite hefty even when siting down.

I’ve never seen one advertised at less than 4.3kg - I window shopped them for 18 months  before buying mine (and promptly traded it a fortnight later! This is the bass that taught me a hard lesson in making sure you’ve played one before buying one! 🤣)

Have had a flick through the classifieds and it looks like the P35 that @M@23 was selling a while back was on the lighter side
