Chadu25 Posted Thursday at 15:19 Posted Thursday at 15:19 (edited) 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.

IanA Posted Sunday at 21:20 Posted Sunday at 21:20 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 Quote
BassApprentice Posted Sunday at 21:47 Posted Sunday at 21:47 Maybe not overly helpful, but would switching out the tuners for ultralights on one not get you close to saving that 0.5kg? Quote

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 Quote

They play, feel and sound amazing but they are quite hefty even when siting down. 1 Quote
Paddy777 Posted Monday at 07:28 Posted Monday at 07:28 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! 🤣) 1 1 Quote
IanA Posted Monday at 09:40 Posted Monday at 09:40 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 Quote

Good Luck getting Resolites, they're in very short supply right now (well, the 3/8 ones are, the 1/2 maybe not)... 1 Quote

I’ve had two, one was 10lbs+ and that one, the sunburst one, was 8lbs 9oz. And top to bottom perfect with it. I sold it to a mate who has fallen in love with it, and last we spoke, planned to have it stripped and refinished pink! Quote
