the specs are everything im looking for.

just ordered one of these... excited to get it tomorrow

Who directed these? If you are going to hand someone a 5 string bass, maybe they should use the B at some point.

I was looking for him to use that B string as well. Never happened. I'm pretty much sold anyway. I'm getting the 734

A 3 minute demo with max 5 secs of B. Sad.

It's like 80% of bassists are afraid to pluck the B string.

I literally prefer five strings just to use the b string as nice place to end a strum. I mean I ofc use the b string, but the reason I'm so attached is that consistency to hit the side of the string on a strum unless it's a low note when it doesn't matter.

I got me the same colour four string version and this bass is killer. Amazing tone and sustain.

same but mines same in the video and not played

Wonderful instrument, but I'm not sure I heard any notes played on the B string. This sounds exactly like the BB734 demo.

I’m not getting any sound out of my passive switch can this be fixed easily ?

Damn! Nice to see Yamaha back with a vengeance!

Is this bass better than a Mexican Fender bass? I've heard good things about the Yamaha BB series, but I can't afford the made in Japan basses. Do you think the ones in this price range (700-800 dollars/euros) are better than Fenders? Thanks

What makes Fender's price so expensive is the brand!

I have this bass for 9 months and a fender mim for 7 years. Companions: The bb735 is superior in features, tones, playability and build quality. Light and comfortable to play for hours. I think this bass represents the best characteristics of music man and fenders and amplifies them with details like string through body bridge, passive/active switch, 3 band EQ, battery light and the 6 bolt 45 degree miter joint. Fenders are still cool basses but this yamaha is such a work horse with killer looks as well as high quality gig bag for $750 usd.

What strings and what gauge arethese shipped with?

D'addario XL, .45-.125 (I think) I use Stringjoy Nickelwounds on mine. Best combo of deep thunder and piano mids and highs in my opinion! I use a THICK B string (.135). This bass is amazing.

What strings does it come with?

@soundman1402

D'Addario XL .45-.130 I believe. I use StringJoy Nickelwound on mine, .45-.135 (equal tension gauges). Authoritative rumble, with nice piano highs.

Great instruments. Why such dark colors? A white one next year.

What is the price range on this bass?

Around 800$ but because it's with rosewood fretboard ,there might be a problem from the retailers to ship it because of CITES restrictions.Its pity.I really wanna get the 734A in matte trans black.Thats the one.

He is Pino Paladino?

Got a 5-string bass. Doesn't play the B string.

I want the black one so bad

Thats what she said

Speaker can't take the low B string! 🤔🙃Nice tone! This bass probably unbeatable in price range.

Maybe playing the 5th string would be an idea, no?

I is the THIRD f ing review of this 5 STRING bass I see where the reviewer NEVER f ing hits the low B string WTF!

Hope this doesn't come with the same crappy preamp the 614/615 come with, it distorts as soon as you solo the neck PU or go too far boosting any EQ band. BTW, that can be solved by feeding it 18V, have done it on my BB615. BTW, I got the previous gen. 615 (single piece maple neck) after miserably failing at trying to like a BB425X because of playability. That 5 piece neck was horrible, too D shaped, uncomfortable, the 615's is much slimmer and fast. Hope you've gone back to a slimmer neck profile on these ones.

I've never distorted the preamp on mine, even with an extreme boost to the low EQ. As for playability, the neck profile feels great to my hands; about as slim as you can hope for with a 5-string. (I have a Sandberg 4-string that has the fastest neck I've ever played on a bass.) My only gripe with the neck is that it's painted with a matte black paint that will eventually become shiny with use; I don't like a glossy neck as my hands tend to stick to it. I may see about scuffing that shiny paint to make it matte again.

Has anyone used this for metal, hard rock? The salesman reckons it's perfect for it

YAMAHA Please invent an amplifier that provides electric power to bass or guitar with active microphones/pickups

Nice hat and all but this dudes tone is so bad that its hard to tell the real quality of the bass lol

Yeah, it sounds like a hollow tube. Also, he's playing so lightly that the noise of his fingers brushing the strings and the noise from his fretting hand just start to get in the way.

Its a 5 string, but he almost doesnt play the low string

Sad that it will take years to reach india. Maybe, it will never come here.
