MGR/AnonymousYamaha BB G5
Published on 12/22/04 at 15:00Please see my review "BB 405 4-knob".
The sales slip and hang tag for my [used]
bass say it's a BB 405, but I'm becoming
more convinced that it's really a BB G5,
which, as far as I can tell so far, is
the same "woodwork" as a BB 405 but has
entirely different PUs and electronics,
thus the other review specifying [titled]
"Yamaha BB405 4-knob".
Originally, I'd thought that mine was an
earlier version, that current 405's were
"economized" versions of the older, but
now I think mine is really a BB G5.
see other review. sorry for title error.

If you are considering a BB G5, this is
a pointer to a G5 review that was given
a wrong title. Anyway...…

and affordably priced, but it's voice is
possibly an "acquired taste".

UTILIZATION
Excellent bass, active.
Rglage easy in a serious attack nickel blues
Ditto for the reggae. The acute attacks are correct to slap.
I repproche however the lack of pcision in mediums. the pickups are a bit small for gaming agreement.
Finally it's my opinion.
SOUNDS
Blues, reggae, jazz at all
OVERALL OPINION
I like the feeling, color, race.
Good weight, but cava.

SOUNDS
It's a pretty hot, but hey each APRS cr its own sound, it is difficult to say that she is his basic sound saw that it goes through an amp and cords is ge Determines.
Its the sound I get DSIR: bcp serious, acute and bcp of some medium.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been five years since I use it and I'm glad trs, trs it a good value qualitprix. I had a test and other models, and although a little mass, she found me.
Aesthetics trs I find beautiful, sober, lgante but with a little rock ct (ZBR mine is navy blue and black with mcaniques dores: superb)
