    Yamaha BB G5

    Yamaha BB-G5Published on 12/22/04 at 15:00
    Please 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.

    If you are considering a BB G5, this is
    a pointer to a G5 review that was given
    a wrong title. Anyway it's easy to play
    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.

    the buttons have good sensitivity but I put them all to the max and I RULES then my amp ...

    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)
