Dis Da Bass
Hey, I'm in an awesome band, and this is my bass. It is awesome. Yamaha makes the good stuff. Don't listen to the haters. You will like it.
Great bass for the money
This is a great budget 5 string. It sounds amazing and is easy to play.

But if you are looking for a quality budget bass to play as is, maybe look elsewhere.
