Sound: Lovely resonant bottom end, clear highs if you want them. Masses of sustain. Good control of tone. Powerful output Feature: It has everything I could need on a bass. Ease of Use: Easiest bass I have ever played. Great for learners, but not limiting for more experienced players. 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! Manufacturer Support: No need for support yet... The Wow Factor: Feels really cool and quite a few people have commented on how good it looks and asked to try it. Overall: I expect to keep it for a long while. Would certainly replace it with the same if it were lost.

Sound: The sound on this bass has a wide range with the two humbucker pickups. It can switch from a Jazz bass sound to the low growl of a P-bass. I use an even mix of both alot because it is just a great sound. Feature: The set up is quite easy, each pick up has it's on mix and one volume keeps it simple. Ease of Use: Like I said above...easy to use controls Quality: You can just feel that the quality is not as good as the more expensive models...but hey,I have no complaints. Value: I have owned many basses and my main one is an $1100 American Fender Jazz. I wanted a new one as a practice and back up bass. I played alot and when I picked this one up ...WOW. I loved it and the price...can't beat it. It shares equal time gigging with the Jazz bass. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use them The Wow Factor: I have had alot of looks at the bass because it is just COOL! I have the Red one and absolutely love it and highly recommend you go play one and it will sell it's self. Overall: As much as I want to give it a 10 I can't for the mere fact it is not as good as the $1000 and up models but it's worth well over what they are selling for..around $350

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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. 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. Manufacturer 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. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
