  • My first bass was the lowest end Yamaha RBX260 in the 1990s. It was a boring glossy red color. I miss the hell out of it. I recently went through a couple of Fenders that I never really fell in love with, and have been thinking about getting a Yamaha bass again. Probably a BB734A this time.

  • Great list, but Sire should be on this. Been playing a Sire P7 as my main bass for the past few years and this thing is rock solid and plays/sounds fantastic.

  • In music instruments companies i always see yamaha as 2nd in every instrument
    (Did not consider boutique)

    Like guitar & bass have fender, then yamaha (maybe ibanez/gibson can replace it)

    Keys have roland and then yamaha

    They just consistently stays on top tier but not absolute top

  • I'm pretty sure that Sire wouldn't be classified as "underrated", but if anyone is unfamiliar with them, you might want to check Sire out.

  • Yamaha rules for budget basses. Sire are amazing also!!!

    Ltd are an honorable mention

  • I bought the BB434 last year, bloody brilliant bass, especially for the price. There's always better guitars, but you know if you buy a Yamaha, you won't be disappointed. I think they still maintain the Japanese business philosophy of doing a good job and building a good product

  • I just wish some of these brands did 35” for the extended ranges. I’d loooove a G&L 5-string, but for some reason, a tighter B-string is only valued by the “metal” brands rather than the more traditional ones.

  • The Yamaha basses, especially TBRX Series, all sound like P basses unless you get a Nathan East signature 5 string.
    Great video, though.
    You mentioned some brands I had forgotten about and some I've never heard of before.

  • 2:06 dude… Jackson finally released something that doesn't look like your band name is "Terror Omen" or some shit, and everybody takes a dump on it. Wow, something that looks like a P-Bass and a little like a Rick, two of the most classic looking designs ever, and everybody is just confused? Give me a break. Their color choices are a bit much, but get the black one and be done with it. I think it's rad. Was thinking of getting one since the prices used seem to be the steal of the year.

  • I bought a G&L M2000 10 years ago. Over time I sold my other basses and never needed to buy more basses because the M2000 literally fit every gig and band I played in. I am breaking my decade long celibacy of buying basses just to get another G&L as a back up to my main. Straight up the most reliable and versatile bass ever. It really is just the best parts of a jazz bass and a stingray. Plus they don't go for crazy price (for now).

  • I bought a second hand (obviously, they haven't been in production for some time now) 2010 Schecter Diamond P Custom 4 about 4 months ago. I'm loving it. The build quality and features, the sound and feel – it's amazing, really. I have since A/B'd it with some very nice and expensive American made Fenders and a couple of Sadowski's, and the Schecter is still a win for me, it is really that good. $500 is all I paid. I'm very happy with it.

  • I was looking for yamaha trbx 505 or 605 (same pickups and preamps). I I found 605 in my nearest music shop by chance. Altough I didn't have much time it felt nice and great. I liked the tone etc. I think I'm going to buy it.

  • My Peavey Millennium has treated me well despite all the abuse it's received (first bass worth more than $60 I ever owned). Never hear anyone even mention em.

  • Maruszczyk is a GREAT Polish brand. Really well made, you can order heavy customised basses and pretty good ergonomic. Also Sandberg, not so customisable but they make the best jazz bass I have ever played

  • I have a G&L LB 100 Fullerton and it out precision the Fender Precision. I have a 75 Precision and I almost NEVER pick it up now…

  • Often forgotten is that Yamaha are first a musical instrument company making everything from cheap recorders to concert-hall grade pianos, and their logo – even on bikes – even my FJ1200 3CV that I loved – is actually 3 tuning forks.

  • Great video. My only disagreement which is purely from experience not representative of every bass out there but I’ve handled maybe 10 Jackson’s and they all had very poor QC. Granted it was guitar center where teenagers are beating the shit out of them.

  • Spot on. I discovered Yamaha and own a BB435. Versatile or what, and the quality rivals my Stingray 5. ????

  • when l started bass i got a schecter diamond series bass for 200 bucks pre owned. great bass and im still using it

  • FGN are good judging by my new Mighty Jazz Boundary, which is the cheap end. Japanese company that used to make basses for a bunch of brands, now selling their own direct. Unique feature: the frets are ever-so-slightly curved to account for the string spread from nut to bridge, so they always intersect at right-angles.

  • I think Aria basses are slept on. I got lucky and was able to find an early 1980s Aria Pro II TSB-350 for around $300/£235.
    They were bigger in the 80s than they are now, and honestly, I've always been partial to Japanese made basses like Aria or Ibanez
