I love this guitar! I have been playing the bass for over 40 years and I have all types. I put this bass up there with my music man for a lot less money, I play gospel music now and this bass is great for that.
Okay seriously, for the price, this bass is excellent! It looks and feels excellent. It sounds great too. I was surprised when there was no pickup switch but then realized the control knobs adjust the mix. I can't imagine a better bass anywhere in this range. I play guitar but needed/wanted a bass. I'm perfectly pleased with this bass guitar and recommend it to anyone.
I love this bass. I own a music venue and play the acoustic guitar. My guitar is a Martin and it was a lot more expensive than this guitar but I have no desire to buy a more expensive bass. It has great tone and I love the build quality. Do not hesitate to purchase this instrument. It rocks.
Such an incredible instrument at this price point! Lots of options for the HH active configuration, and a really silky smooth neck. Mine had no fret buzz right out of the box and didn’t require a huge set-up. I can see why this bass is often mentioned as one of the best “beginner” basses. Honestly, it feels a whole lot better than even some of the expensive instruments I’ve tried!
I love this bass guitar. I play acoustic and electric guitar. I wanted a bass for my home recordings. Nice tone, finish and price. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Bought this for my daughter after reading all the great reviews. First she loved the look. all smiles! Second when she plugged it in at church, she plays bass for the worship band, and started to play it on the sound system there, its sounded great! Shes thrilled, and because she is so am I.
This bass was purchased for my grandson. He loves it and says it’s a massive upgrade over his Ibanez. Needed only slight setup to lower the action. Fit and finish was perfect.
I own three Yamaha Bass guitars all are great in their own way. Yamaha Bass guitars are under rated but the few of us that realize how good they are have a great Bass in our hands!! This one is exceptional for price, construction, fit, and form! Other than setting it up for the action I like which has to be done every guitar for everyone that plays. Go buy this Bass!!
Yamaha makes fine instruments. I have purchased many Yamaha acoustic guitars, basses, trumpets and saxophones and I have never been disappointed with the quality and performance. This new bass is setup well and plays very good with the active or passive signals. The fit an finish is better than my MIM and MIA Fender Jazz basses.
I have no idea how it sounds as it just arrived, but it is exceptionally beautiful. I'll update the review later after I know more about how it sounds.... after Christmas!
