Yamaha BB434 - Tobacco Brown Sunburst Reviews
A severely underrated bass
Abby

This is what I have been looking for for the past year or so. If I could describe this bass in one word, it would be balanced. The yamaha bb434 is a middle ground between the classicality of Fender and the modernity of Ibanez, maybe with a slight leaning towards classicality. It is probably the most comfortable bass I have ever played. Out of the box, the action was, for me, perfect,… read more at a medium/low height. Really comfortable to play. The neck is not as thick as a Fender, nor as thin as an Ibanez. It is a nice middle ground where you can lay down a groove, but are not held back from quicker runs. The body is not as small as an Ibanez, but has substance without seeming impeding. As for tone, it's versatile, having a P/J pickup configuration. I personally was looking for like more classic, Fender tones, and the Yamaha does exactly that. I have put flats on it and could not be happier. The hardware is it's weak point, but is really been nothing to complain about. If you're looking for a bass under $1,000, the bb434 should be a serious contender for your consideration. I could not recommend it enough. Particularly if you're looking for comfort, versatility, and Fender-like tone.
Outstanding buy NO matter the price.

I thought I would try a Yamaha after buying a few Fenders. WOW! The sound is incredible the tone is awesome, the finish is perfect. The sound and tone are better than any of my other basses. I own ten in total. Can't have too many guitars or guns! This has been a quality instrument for me. I am buying another one with the Maple neck, just for fun! Ryan at Sweetwater has treated… read more me great, what a great company to do business with. Thank you.

The 434 is superb quality for the money. I have enjoyed my greatly. I own several bass guitars and this one is at least on par with MIM Fenders imo.
Don’t fall for the price

Was excited about the product due to having very nice Yamaha guitars. However the body is paper thin and it neck dives more than anything I've ever played in my life. The pickups are weak on the D&G strings. Find something better for the price. The guitar came with a dig near the tone control and after removing plastic from pickguard it had MAJOR scratches underneath
