It's a Japanese made low in Taiwan that has 24 frets, 2 pickups type jazz bass, 2 volumes and 1 tone. The neck is wide but not thick.

UTILIZATION

At first glance, the width of the handle can be scary (I do not have the paws of basketball), but after a period of adaptation it is easy and accessible in the treble. Weight is very acceptable and the sound ... sweet.

SOUNDS

I use it only on songs that require a fifth string. I plugged into a Hughes & Kettner Basskick 515 and I use a multi-effects Ibanez PUE 5B. I find it somewhat neutral in sound. But it goes anywhere without discreetly make an impression for good or evil. In short, a low consensus ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 2 years ago. At the time, I had compared to the Peavey Grind Bass 5 string
active ... I bought because its handle was narrower. I sold a year later because I had problems slapper .... because of his race and because it is difficult to move from a passive bass with a low active when playing in a bar.
The Yamaha is passive, like my Lag, and since I do not have to battle with the settings and inputs of the amp when I change instrument. Its value is very good, quality finish (it's the Yamaha still!) And if I had to redo this choice would be yes without hesitation.
