A low end monster that growls, honks, barks and packs a real punch!
MrBarclay 22.01.2022
I had been browsing around for a new bass for my home studio. I wanted a solid well built bass with that classic P bass punch and low end growl without having to spend a lot of money. The Yamaha BB delivered!
This bass is solidly constructed with a great selection of tone woods that would rival most of its competitors.
The pickups on this bass are great! With the added bonus of the jazz pickup in the bridge to add a little honk and sizzle. The P&J configuration allows anybody to get great tone and be creative!

The only criticism I have of the Yamaha BB is some of the cheaper components it comes with. The bridge isn’t good the saddle springs buzz. However it’s a simple and relatively inexpensive upgrade.
Another problem I ran in to was the factory wiring the pickups weren’t grounded causing buzzing and crackling when amplified! Again this is a relatively easy fix.

To conclude this bass is almost perfect it plays really well, sounds great and is built to last. If these issues were resolved from the factory this bass would be 5 stars across the board from me!

Slightly mellower than a J-Bass, punchier than a P-bass
Scrufus 28.06.2023
It has a very "polite" tone, it's the only way I can really describe it. Thing to note is that mine came with one of the tuning pegs being slightly twisted, which made it rattle whenever I'd play anything without an amp. Quality in general is rather solid but there's a few little machining errors here and there, but it's not too noticeable. Unsure if this is common or not but I'm just putting this up for a little buyer beware.

Guter Einsteiger Bass
Christina_B 06.09.2019
Der Bass war ein Geschenk für meinen Freund. Im Großen und Ganzen macht er einen soliden und gut verarbeiteten Eindruck. Er wurde wie verabredet geliefert und war gut verpackt. Der Bass hat einen trockenen Sound, lässt sich auch sehr gut spielen.

Mein Freund hängt täglich dran und das Instrument macht ihm Spaß.

Min första bas
Yamaha BB234 13.12.2022
Jag har inte mycket att jämföra med, eftersom det är min första bas.
En del problem med hum på single coil pickupen, speciellt när tonkontrollen skruvas upp. I övrigt inget att klaga på.
