Thanks Eric for kind words! Oh... You will not regret having BB434: )

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.

Thanks for the video! If I decide to buy a bass, this will be my choice.

Thanks:) I am wondering it not to try other pups...but this bass plugged in to a good amp is so versitale and rich sounding. Maybe no need to modify anything

That neck pickup sounded really good with a pick. I mean, the bass sounded great in general, but what a great pick sound.

thank you! Indeed it sounds really great and plugged to a good amp produces such a variety of rich tones.

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!!!

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...

Nice review! The sound of the bass was very well presented.

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 for the review. Isn't the scale length 34 inch though? Or is there a 35 inch version?

Thanks, I'm planning on getting a beginner bass, and this is the model I've been looking at

Edward Ramirez It was years ago, but those of us who could not afford a Stradivarius got the Yamaha. Side by side they looked the same but I guess the Strat was like a boutique compared to a Mid-range. It was a great trumpet and I could never outplay the horn, if you know what I mean. The quality was top notch and it sounded as good as any of us could make it sound. Hope this helps! Have fun!

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 🤔

You won't regret it. Just got mine and there's nothing "beginner" about this bass. It feels and sounds good. Real value for money.

Great bass! I’m surprised with how affordable they are!

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!

Hi 2Timone7, did you have a chance to play them all ? I was considering Schechter Model T but quality was worse than Yamaha. But Stealth might be different-just donno. Buy what attracts you the most and which will make you happy looking on it as well :)

The same hehe , Yamaha BB434 has an amazing quality. I was like ...wow !

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.

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.

I've had this bass for about 3 years and it's wonderful in every way. I think you'd call the neck a satin finish. No problems at all with stickiness.

were you playing with stock strings or what kind of other strings?

This is better than Fender American Performer. 6 bolt neck, PJ Alnico 5 pickups, string thru body design, 5 piece neck, graph tec nut. If Fender was going to offer such bass with these characteristics it would cost maybe double the price of American Performer. The Yamaha beats the American. That's it.
