I grew up in the '80s and Yamaha BB basses were all over the place back then. They are absolutely iconic for me and that sound is so nostalgic. It's the only PJ bass I've ever really liked.

I have that bass in the same color. Put half-rounds on it. Great neck. I have the 5 string and a Revstar too. Love Yamaha.

@JonNewquist Месяц назад

I love short scale basses as a gitfiddle player, and this looks compact but with all the room of 34". I use flats on my seldom-played Epi Viola. I dig the whole vibe of this Yamaha, and it's even the same color scheme as my Revstar. Nice vid, Andy.

@ShadeAssault Месяц назад

Been a bass player for 15+ years and been watching your channel because I'm trying guitar too (Why not branch out some?). Have to say I did not vibe with my starter Yamaha P-bass, but have since found some that I LOVE. I got a Schecter Diamond series C-5 ($1k+ range) that I absolutely adore. But, by far, the instrument I pick up the most is my Ibanez Artcore AFB-140 semi-hollow body ($400 used), sadly they don't make that exact model anymore. When I want to play unplugged I have an Alvarez acoustic bass ($400 new) that is hilariously huge but sounds amazing, sadly I moved to a new state with a lot more humidity a while ago and the action is to high to be playable (~7mm at the 12th, maxxed out truss rod, probably needs bridge work) and I haven't found a good shop nearby to take it to. Video critique, turn up the bass volume for your demos. Wayy to quiet. I get that when playing in a band the bass usually sits behind the rest of the instruments, but when you are showcasing it it should be at least as loud as your talking audio, which it isn't here. Was really hard to hear the playing.

Yamaha makes killer basses. Even the cheaper ones sound great. I’ve been a Fender guy for years, but bought a Yamaha 5 String (TRBX505) a few years ago, and it now gets more mileage than any of my other basses. Great sound, great versatility, and just feels SOOO good.

@brianday2054 27 дней назад

Cracking vid, Andy, thanks for casting the spotlight on the lowly 4-string! I made the switch from guitar to bass years ago to join a band I had done sound for a bunch of times (and had also supported with my previous group). Started with a cheap bass (Epi EB3), and realised I needed to upgrade fairly quickly.... and after trying many basses landed on a Yamaha BB1024 (I'd had a bit of a windfall and got a bargain at an exhibition). I doubt I'll ever replace it; it's that good. Haven't tried flatwounds on it yet, though... something I will have to check out based on this video! It's worth noting that I know a few people who use various models in the BB range, and we all agree that they're excellent instruments. And yes, all guitarists should have a bass. It makes you rethink your playing and gives you a different perspective. Also, bass is stupidly good fun!

@niel80 Месяц назад

Have the same bass for years... Mine is in "Teal" colour ... Play it almost every day and gig with it every weekend... As you say...

I love Yamaha's keyboards and woodwind instruments, but I've avoided their guitars and basses because I just didn't like how they looked… I don't even like how _this_ one looks in the pictures online, but it looks pretty great in this video! Now I am tempted… I've been having some regrets about selling my 5-string Jazz Bass, but maybe I should consider a BB435.

@MrVinB Месяц назад

I love a good BB, but damn when are they doing a refresh of the line? The Revstars got a nice update, so hoping the basses get one too.

@Shysleeves Месяц назад

I think the PRS SE Kestrel is a fantastic bass if you want a jazz bass. Hipshot hardware, neck through, Rosewood fretboard. I love mine, it's comfortable, not too light and not too heavy, and while you are playing a bass so upper fret access isn't much of a thing you're worried about if you happen to need it it's fantastic on it.

@mightyV444 Месяц назад

Oh cool! Some bass content! 😃👍 I do also play guitar, but I'm more at home on drums and bass, and the latter is my current main instrument, so I always appreciate it when guitar youtubers throw in the occasional bass video 😊 And I agree that Yamaha make quality stuff 😀 (except for the DD-55 drum pads - Those were 💩) This does come across as a great bass indeed! I love that it has the added angled neck screws like their 'Attitude' Billy Sheehan signature bass, and it sounds very good, too! 😀👍 Minuses seem to be the lesser quality of the tuners and the pots being only small ones, and I'm not too keen on the shape of the pickguard; Instead of that straight cut where the controls are, it should have a slight curve instead, like some 80's Hamer guitars and basses did. Then again, and seeing there's nothing underneath it, it would also look great _without_ a pickguard! Greetings from NZ! 👋😀

@amirsmith93 Месяц назад

Probably one of a few bass players watching but you did a good job showcasing this bass. My one critique on the bass is the controls . I think at this price point they could have added a blend control instead of 2 volumes. In my opinion a blend control is way more useable.

@juanjan__ Месяц назад

First of all, YAY BASS! haha. Secondly, in my experience most guitar players prefer the sound of the bridge pickup to the neck one when they play, probably because it is higher pitched and makes soloing easier? I was surprised you preferred the flats but of course! They are the OG strings, and they are great. For me, flats, neck pickup, tone between 20 and 50% depending on the situation, and let's go for the Jamerson and McCartney tone 🙂

@naruto199797 Месяц назад

I really enjoy playing both guitar and bass. Usually, i play heavier styles of music, so flat wounds wouldn't do the trick for me.

Yamaha BBs were huge in the 80s, used by guys like Peter Hook, Billy Sheehan, Paul McCartney, Phil Lynott, Geezer Butler, etc. I like how bright and clear it can be, even with the Jazz pickup so far forward.

@kingstumble Месяц назад

Bass was my first instrument and it was years before I picked up a guitar but I would say if you are a guitar player first and just wanted to play bass occasionally, think about a short scale bass. You will find the transition much easier.

@7stringbassist Месяц назад

Or the best bass for a guitar player is a Fender USA Urge Mk1 or the MIM version. Sounds awesome. 32 inch scale so it's easier to play. The USA version is a Precision or a Jazz, passive or active. Yamaha first did the extra neck screws on the Attitude Mk3. The bass is mounted at an angle in a jig and the drill bits go in vertically.

@TheDrunkenScoundrel Месяц назад

Is there a difference-especially in feel-between string-through vs. top-mount? I've heard this with other instruments like Teles...but also the break-angle thing with LP bridges (and others) and there is always the debate about scale-length vs. overall length of the strings e.g. the reverse 6-in-line headstock. Not bashing on your video at all, it was great because I learned a bunch of stuff and it made me think of other things. This just makes me think you can get more videos out of this investment.

I'm a guitarist for 17 years now, and I have one bass, I'm pretty happy with my Jaguar short scale bass by squier. But I need a full scale one too because you can't go low on a short scale. Your strings are just like spagetthi lmao if you go in D tuning. A full dcale can handle that with no problem. Thinking of a Jazz Bass, and maybe a fretless bass because it looks fun to play.

@mightyV444 Месяц назад

I regularly play on a Squier CV Jaguar bass that belongs to my band's rehearsal space (It's the model with two stacked Vol/Tone controls), and I have the same 'spaghetti' experience with it myself when tuning it to Drop-D 😅 Even though it's a medium 32" scale, as opposed to being a short scale. But it's a wonderful instrument otherwise! Nice and light, and sooo comfortable to play, with its very slim neck 😍 Going back to my 34" P-bass feels like actual work! 😅

@Cornholio1981 Месяц назад

@@mightyV444 exactly, same with regular scale and baritone, If I tune to C, Drop C it gets a lil loose. But with a guitar with a longer scale it speaks for it self. I play in a Nirvana coverband and everything has to be tuned to D standard. My bandmates bass is a full scale Gibson Thunderbird, it's way sooo different. I like short scale because it feels like a guitar but is not. Just the fimiliarity of playing guitar.

@MarcAndreLevesque Месяц назад

Less break angle on a bass will make the sound feel rounder in sound, slinkier in feel and the attack will seem less pronounced... but this is mostly for the player because in a mix or a band ... forget hearing the difference! it is similar to top loaded, sound difference is minimal at best and maybe you will get little more sustain from a through body .. but .. I'd be hardpressed to confirm that.

Not to mention HEAVY. So, a short scale makes more sense. Maybe I’ll have to couch the 50’s idea for me when I’m financially solvent, but I’d be happy to take anyones recommendations for a good lightweight short scale…or even one she can play sitting down if its too heavy.

@Kolavskaya Месяц назад

Some through-body string setups - depending on the bridge - consistently break round-core strings, e.g. DR strings and the round-core GHS Boomers, which should sound awesome for a very long time. Usually the lower strings break first; they just sound rubbish after only a few days. I could imagine that this arrangement might help avoid that. I'd certainly give round-core strings a whirl on this bass. And I totally dig that one can take that ugly scratch plate of like on an old Fender or early Squire bass Jazz Bass. You can't usually do that with new Squires, unless you like a brutalist design. For me that plate would go straight into the bin. Last, you can't compare LaBella with D'Addario and then say anything about what the bass would sound like with proper roundwound strings; these are about the worst, most inconsistent (across a set) bass strings on the market, and I don't understand why so many basses ship with them - absolutely dreadful.
