linn134 « Not quite expensive my son. »
Published on 06/15/14 at 16:07Made in Taiwan!
Wait, do not leave right away, it's made in Taiwan that has nothing to do with what was in the 80s, you know electronic stuff that is now all Chinese. No, this is serious and it is written on, "according to the specifications and under the control of Yamaha."
Well, it is written in English but the meaning is there.
Was in the hands an alder body, solid.
The neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard, 24 frets well polished, the profile is flatter than that of a PB but its width is comparable to modern PB course.
For electronics it has two microphones Yamaha screen keypad that is, to what they told me, the PBass, supercharged by active electronics with two bands (bass and treble), a scale and a volume. Potentiometers feature a central screen with the exception of volume.
UTILIZATION
The handle is well designed: it fits in the hand without being too wide or too thick.
The rosewood fingerboard is a serious thickness, freight are correctly placed and very polite.
It is a comfortable handle that allows all playing techniques with a reasonable velocity. How to slap turbo demonstrator store that's not it, but below the 130 it went very smoothly.
Access to adequate but not insane highs, the heel is not very elaborate, but it's no worse than a standard Fender.
In terms of sound there is no problem: it sounds.
SOUNDS
Who says Yamaha also says versatility.
Aside from the TRB and some specific models of the brand, we always have a real versatility in Yam. The BBG4A2 does not break the habit of bringing home Japanese as always a modern twist to a classic violin.
In this case the formula fenderienne is taken as an example: alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard screwed, declined on a shape close to the Precision Bass Jazz Bass crossbred.
Yes but the sound?
Precisely, the sound is inspired by Fender but more malleable. Ie less typical.
Less typical but edgier, more modern. Precision two microphones and active electronic transmission of this wood. Alder in this case.
In my case this is a bass that serves as my Swiss Army knife. A good trap that can go where conventional struggling to get by. Easy to mix, not bulky and handy.
I like this bass, as unglamorous as it is. Good at everything but great at nothing is typically Yam.
With very good strings is a very good instrument.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a long time.
She did not score much in time, around 250euros while it is sold close to 600 euros at its output. This is not a Fender and it sounds less synthetic than the Ibanez SR same price.
I had pretty low. Low range (Cort Action), the average range (Ibanez SRX575 and EDB605 Yamaha RBX374 and 774, Tobias Toby Pro4, BassCollection DB53, Fender Deluxe JB ...), upscale (Bongo5HH MusicMan, Fender Precision Deluxe JB and Marcus Miller, Yamaha and TRB1006 TRB4, Warwick Streamer Jazzman and Flashback, Neuser Crusade Signature).
The label has, obviously, but in terms of the qualities of this BBG4A2 I must say that I am surprised and conquered.
This is a really good bass. Kind of honest and reliable.
I am less adept look. Ok it's mouth, but the flamed maple veneer gives it a pretentiousness that is reinforced by the gold hardware. Class whore!
That said this is not a bluff Chinese dragon with a pearl inserted into the body and microphones cardboard. No, this is serious.
A good small coffee that you can take without fear wherever you would go out your not very expensive American, without having regard to the complex. As usual it's good to Yamaha. As usual it's reliable, affordable, fun to play. As usual we regret that it is not marked "made in prestige" above.
Good but not ultimate.
