My review of the Yamaha BB415 bass

Hi Everybody! This is my first ever recorded review of an instrument. I've had quite a few people on Youtube asking me about gear so I'll try and get around to eventually reviewing and explaining my whole setup. I got this bass yesterday and it's nothing short of amazing, especially for the price! As the great Larry David would say, "It's prettayyyy, pretayyyy, pretty good!" :P I Hope you enjoy my review and please excuse the sloppy playing in parts, my excessive rambling on, the out of sync video in some parts, and the line audio cutting out for four seconds at 5:46. Don't worry, they'll get better as they go! Please ask any questions via comment or PM and I'll do my best to reply. Cheers, Matt.

Nice! I've got the Yamaha BB414 and i think that the only difference from yours is that my bass only has 4 strings. But im not really sure if there are other differences...

@Alexthebassplayer95 Yep, apart from four instead of five, no other difference Alex. Thanks for watching mate!

iv got the 424 bb, the sustain is amazing , and the best passive tone iv heard for a bass this cheap.

Nice man, just watching this before I go buy one. looks like I might get it

Great tone and great review. You went into all the detail that people who post reviews SHOULD go into. Are you still loving it as much today, almost a year later as you did after the first day?

Just bought the same bass yesterday but in Vintage White. Was the last one they had. They made me a good enough price. I'm now selling my Fender P-bass mim and my other Yamaha active 5 string. I no longer feel i need 3 bass to get the sound i'm after. Really nice bass.

man.. that was THE tone

[DrSteveOoO]

nice review

[bemolable]

is it easy to play on the last frets?

Good review. Ive got the orange bb415 and play very little on my other basses (Fender Jazz, MMstingray, MTD Z5) because this one is soo good (and cheap).

The B string is growling and not floppy because of the extended bridge.

Best buy I ever did.

Excellent review!

Love the detail you go into, really made me feel good about ordering one (which I have)

I'm in the UK and prices are aroun £400 which is pretty cheap for a bass of this calibur.

Thanks again :D

PS: Fuck, you are good at slapping..
