What a fantastic bass for the money! Feels really good whether you're holding it in your knee or on a strap, the tonal variations are virtually endless with two pick ups, blend control, tone controls and the all empowering 5 position eq toggle switch. The string spacing is just right allowing for smooth fast transition between the strings.
The battery compartment for the active electronics is easily accessible making for trouble free installation.
The paint finish is fantastic the deep gloss with metallic flick looks superb under stage lighting.
All in all a suburb bass which stands up for itself against basses costing 3 or 4 times as much!
This is a great 5 string bass with a quality build and great sound as you expect from Yamaha. But what really makes it is the price for such an instrument
