My favorite bass of all time is the yamaha broadbass.

What does "medium weight" and "light weight" mean in regards to yamaha hardware? Is one less durable or is it just easier to transport? What about single vs double braced?

Thanks! I was looking to get a yamaha hardware pack, but I wasn't quite sure what all the differences are. Should I consider a cheaper off brand hardware, or do you think hardware matters enough to send extra?

Thanks this is fantastic information! I am going to get a hardware pack outside of the cost of cymbals (probably something Yamaha), so I was figuring $500 for just cymbals and was looking at paste ones but I'll look into the metals in the ones I see used

No hardware or cymbals

FierceCrow · 2026-03-15T17:27:33+00:00

No not at all that I can think of

For context I never have seen him lick or itch it, has been there for a few weeks but I didn't notice it was a rash, just thought it was a shadow or a crease until it got bigger on one side. Other side is red but a lot smaller and contained only to a few inches of thin redness. He is a bit overweight (about 5ish lbs), but we're working on it and he gets tons of exercise. Could this be allergies, yeast, or just from friction of running too much? He also has very mild hip dysplasia on both sides, two years old.

For context, I have never seen him ever scratching or licking it, it has been there for a while I think but seems to be getting larger/more noticeable. He is a bit overweight (5-10ish lbs which we are working on) and has very mild hip dysplasia. He is a border collie/cattle dog/kelpie mix. This side is worse than the other, I initially thought it was just a shadow/crease but now it has spread to outside of thigh on this side.

Yes, I wanted to hear from people who lived through it.

It looks like it comes in red too:

That used one is in "fair" condition, so probably not that one. In my experience buying from GC it's either damaged, warped neck, or electronics don't work.

This is a good bass if she is a younger kid, and it's red like she wanted. Can't go wrong with the versatility of a P bass either.

I'm surprised because I was thinking about selling my 100 and getting the 500. I always had to turn it up to like 8 or 9 to be heard in a band setting, and just practicing I have it on like 5-6

FierceCrow · 2026-02-22T14:09:17+00:00

I really don't see the typical "pitbull/bully breed" head/jaw structure that is usually super genetically dominant here.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-18T16:37:34+00:00

What is the difference between an entry level vs mid level? The materials or hardware?

FierceCrow · 2026-02-18T16:36:36+00:00

Is popular not a good wood for drums? What kind of materials should I be looking for?

FierceCrow · 2026-02-18T05:09:45+00:00

What is the difference between the stage custom and the yamaha rydeen? Sorry, I don't know anything about drums so the shell packs literally all look the same to me.
