Yamaha BB434 bass – review and demo!
Hi there!
I decided to record a short review of my bass , Yamaha BB434. If some of you are considering buying one of those basses, hopefully this will help.
Personally I think this is a really great bass – it is definitely different that typical “Fender type” bass. It is classical BB series, some say already legendary.
I find it’s sound a really good out of the box! A quality is even better , great craftsmanship and …wow it looks beautifully! Such a badass bass 🙂 Just try to plug it into an good amp and turn the volume up!
In this video – only raw signal sound samples.
Thanks for watching!

This J Pick-up is 60’s or 70’s distance in the Bridge?
What is the weight on this bass? Thanks
I don't see any information on this anywhere (and in the video it certainly doesn't look like it) but I'd like to get some confirmation on it if anyone knows. Does the neck have a gloss finish? I'd hate to get one of these only to find out that the neck has a gloss finish and gets sticky.
Thanks for the review. Isn't the scale length 34 inch though? Or is there a 35 inch version?
Thanks for giving us a real world demo. Just normal everyday styles that everyday players want to hear in reviews.
Excellent! Nice sounding bass I’m getting one of these delivered next week. I had the BB734 but It was a bad one, it had defects (surprised at Yamaha) and the actives were not for me. It got sent back.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love!
Nice review mate, I'm seriously thinking of buying one of these as a save for my new bass, just gotta decide if I should buy this or save longer for a fender p or jazz bass, not sure if I can justify the price for the latter 2 tho ????
Are you sure this is 35" scale? 1:10
Hi, this is one of the best descriptions and sound samples I have seen! Great job!!
Any idea on the weight and string spacing??
Thanks!!!
Great bass! I’m surprised with how affordable they are!
It comes as no surprise to me that Yamaha makes a great bass… I have 10 Yammies.
35 inch scale?
Thanks for the video! If I decide to buy a bass, this will be my choice.
It's practically a new BB-450 without the pickup selector switch and has blend control
Sorry I'm newbie. Is this model was a P Bass??
Got one of these about 2.5 weeks ago to start learning bass on (previously only played guitar). My god, the thing plays itself. Comfy as heck, great tone – nice and fat, not at all clanky. Can't believe it was only $500 – the build quality feels like it could sell for twice that, easily.
I've had mine for a year now, and still love it. I have the greenish colored one with a Hipshot extender that is awesome, and it installed without any drilling.
were you playing with stock strings or what kind of other strings?
Poor man's Fender American Performer
Yamaha taking the classic Fender PJ pickup configuration and literally running with it (and for the price, AWFULLY tough to beat given the consistently high quality of their builds). I'd say they've pretty much put their stamp on the bass world with their widely-renowned BB series. Might have to give this one a spin myself next time I go shopping for a new bass. Definitely favors the rosewood fretboard from the looks of it…
Great review. Man, I'm torn between this bass, the Schechter Stiletto Stealth 4, and the Sire M2 -tearing my hair out trying to decide. I already have a Fender P so I eliminated the Sterling Stingray Classic. Thanks for posting!
I have this in teal blue… there is no way this is a begginers bass, its way more of what you pay for, underated bass… I have a 1991 fender jazz bass and there is no way Fender can reach this kind of quality and price… the best bass hands down.. plus with the PJ Setup ypu get the best from both worlds.
Thanks, I'm planning on getting a beginner bass, and this is the model I've been looking at
Gotta agree. These are badass basses! Like the Pink Floyd too.
That neck pickup sounded really good with a pick. I mean, the bass sounded great in general, but what a great pick sound.
Nice review! The sound of the bass was very well presented.
Deserves way more views. Very great review. Ordering one soon in sunburst. Keep up the great content, man.
