  • Awesome review ???????????????? I love the Yamaha bb basses. These basses sound incredible. Especially with effect pedals. I own a bb235 and it sounds killer with a set of nickel-plated strings(which is what I use). I also own a trbx505 and that bass sounds incredible. Since I’m a huge Yamaha fan, I plan to purchase another one. Either another bb bass or a trbx bass.

  • Funny ????. And great review ????. Thanks! The new BB434 in Red Metallic looks awesome, and it can be used as an excellent live instrument at a fraction of the price of a higher budget bass, while still admirably doing a good job.

  • I don't have a pj yet and I have herd alot of positive stuff about the bb434. It's been recommended to me by several different people.I was saving up for a fender american performer. But I am starting to think of grabbing this one I like a beefy neck. And money has been really tuff so the fact that it's a third of the price is a huge plus. I also found a company that does pickguards so I can change the flavor up a bit. So as always thanks for the great content . I wish I could buy it from Paramore! but I live a few thousand miles away. I would of bought it online from them but there didn't seem to be a option that I saw.

  • Great review, thanks! I didn't know Yamaha basses at all but I'm really impressed, they seem to be great value as well. Would they compare with FGN basses you think? Japanese basses seem to be of high quality. Best regards.

  • …remote location: what a riot!!! Thanks for the guffaws. I was very impressed with the upper end response, almost "piano-like", which "I like"…a lot. Any chance of a follow up vid explaining the controls?

  • Hey Rib, what was the weight? I always found the Yamahas to be a bit heavy. I love their motorcycles too!

  • I thought you looked familiar. I believe I've seen you around town a time or two. I don't get to Parramore too often, as I don't get downtown too often. I go to GC even less. I am a fairly regular at the other Father & Son store in town.

  • Big fan of Japanese basses so knew about the BB but not the mitred neck. Never seen that before. Nice idea. Loved the 'remote location' video. Awesomely produced as always. Always look forward to your playing. Oh yes, and well done on the Patreon. I'm now signed up.

  • I love this! I’ve been really curious about these. Good to know about the beefier neck. I’m with you, personally it’s not my thing but hey, different strokes. Shoutout from Central FL as well! I’m a recent subscriber and a big fan. Can’t wait for the next video!

  • Awesome video, what a cool idea to bring a cardboard into the music store xD I found the J pickup to be a little thin sounding, but maybe i'm just not a J guy in general, who knows.

  • Mr. Chris Davis! Luthier extraordinaire. Not to mention one of the most killer guitarists ever and one heck of a cool dude! Awesome video as usual!
