"Exellent Bass!"

Feature:
It has everything I could need on a bass.

Quality:
Feels really good quality. Frets very well finished off, neck beautiful. Finish on the body feels very durable. The hardware is just great.

Value:
Excellent value!

Desirability:
Feels really cool and quite a few people have commented on how good it looks and asked to try it.

Sound:
Lovely resonant bottom end, clear highs if you want them. Masses of sustain. Good control of tone. Powerful output

Ease of Use:
Easiest bass I have ever played. Great for learners, but not limiting for more experienced players.

Support:
No need for support yet...

Overall:
I expect to keep it for a long while. Would certainly replace it with the same if it were lost.

"A nice bass, with some problems... but they are easily fixable."

Feature:
The main reason why I liked the sound better I know is because this bass has active electronics, which I usually prefer to passive. But therein lies the problem with this bass. The battery goes flat after just a few days of playing. You replace it but it goes flat again after a week. Why is this? It's a wiring problem that happened on some basses from this particular model number.

Value:
So considering this it's a very good bass for the buck if you are willing to deal with the headache of finding a qualified repair shop. I was not, and I returned the bass for a refund, but I still think this was a very nice offer and had I been located in a different place where I wouldn't have to drive 2 hours to the nearest guitar dealer I would probably have kept it.

Desirability:
I would also probably buy another one if it wasn't for the fact that this is a known problem with these basses, and I don't want to risk ordering another one that has the same problem.

Sound:
I had one of these for a while and also had the opportunity to A/B test this bass versus a few other good contenders: Fender Standard P Bass, Squier Standard P bass, Ibanez GSR200, Ibanez SR500 and ESP B50. My verdict is clear, I like the sound of it better than any of the above mentioned basses, and this is good news considering it is not the most expensive of the ones I tested.

Support:
So I called Yamaha, who were indeed aware of the problem. The guy I talked to was very courteous and he said to take the bass to a local repair shop and that they would pay for the repair.

Overall:
Therefore I'm going to look towards a Fender P-Bass Deluxe this time, but this is a more expensive bass and faced with the choice between the two provided working condition on both, I would choose the Yamaha. Also forgot to mention the knobs on mine were a little loose and they seemed cheap, but the rest of the bass is of much better quality except for the mentioned electronics issues.
