""It is definitely worth the price...""

Feature:
The Passive tone controls are very easy to use.

Quality:
This bass is wonderful and is rugged and it will last a long time. My only problem is, is that the output nut is constantly coming loose and I have to tighten it each time I plug in.

Value:
This Bass is way more then the what the price tells you. It is definitely worth the price.

Desirability:
It has a sexy curvaceous body. and it has beautiful color choices.

Sound:
The sound on this is warm and strong.

Ease of Use:
This bass is great for beginners and pros alike. Its ease of use is top quality.

Overall:
Its Amazing all around. Bravo Yamaha.

"Forget the Squire-Yamaha is soooooooooooo much better"

Feature:
One good feature is that is light-weight and has reasonable action. The Ibanez (and I do like Ibanez) was too heavy for my wife to play- The Squire is a piece of crap-the strings are about a mile off of the frets.

Quality:
Ask me in 6 months

Value:
Great value-$20 cheaper than the Squire-300% Better!

Desirability:
Sexy red solid body-the blue looks cool too!

Sound:
It has a pretty good sound-pickup controls adjust the sound well

Ease of Use:
Yep, easy to use, easy to play

Support:
n/a

Overall:
It's a beginner bass for my wife-probably trade it in - a year or two. Liked the Ibanez-but too heavy for the wife- Hated the Squire-It's basically crap.
