Yamaha BB2000 replacement parts

[SpankBazz]

I've got a BB2000 on the way.
It's a beater but the price was right.
Not really concerned about the cosmetics but the bridge needs to be swapped out.
Google search didn't turn up much.

The original bridge has 9 screw holes.
I may swap out the tuners at a later date. It's not a priority now.
Do any of you know what bridge would fit this bass? Or a good source for replacement parts for these Yamaha basses?

9 screws? not five? are you sure, that's the stock bridge?

some pics might help.

I'm sure.

This is the bridge on a BB2000, in case you've never seen one before.

ah, 2000! it must be a typo in your post then:

I'd assume, the 5 holes after the saddles will match up with all 5 holes on the BB200 (and it's actually the same mount as current TRBX504 or BB234). if yes, I believe, that's a somewhat standard type and Hipshot offers something in that mount. don't worry about the rest 4 holes (filler? idk). of course, measure it yourself to be sure.

Typo. I edited. My apologies.

I'll look into this. Thanks!

I had to replace one of these myself. I never could find a good replacement. Currently, I'm using a badass 2 I had on hand, but I'm going to switch that out eventually.

I've heard that particular style of bridge was prone to breakage.

What do you think you might try next?
I've been seeing people putting Gotoh bridges on other Yamaha models.

I have what I believe is a fender hi mass bridge that appears to at least have a footprint similar to the original Yamaha. I haven't checked if any screw holes line up yet (they didn't with the badass).
