bb435

As a beginning bassist with much more interest in recording songs I write rather than playing in front of people, I'm looking to purchase a 5-string Yamaha. (For the main song I'm working on, I really want that B string. I get that 5-string is tougher but I'd rather put my time into learning the...

Hello! So, after the resurrection of an older thread I started about my old Yamaha BB235, I decided it was about time to post a new NBD, if extremely late (I've now owned it for just under 4 months!) So, here we are. After being forced to sell my BB235 due to financial difficulties, I bought...

I am looking to buy my first upgrade and I am loving the idea of a PJ setup. Something versatile for Metal to blues to funk to church music. If you have played these bass's I want to hear from you! 1. Are the pickups that much different sounding in passive between the two? 2. Is the active EQ...

I've been wanting a good 5 string P bass for a long time. The USA Fender at $1600.00 was out of the question and unfortunately, they quit making the Squire P5 version some time ago. I started shopping around and found this BB435 as a scratch and dent at Sweetwater, the scratch came off...

I have a Yamaha BB435. It's a 34" scale, 5-string bass that's strung through the body. I want to fit La Bella 750G-B (tapewound) strings but I'm not sure if their size is suitable. I found this at the La Bella website: Will these fit my BB435?

I have a Yamaha BB435 (five string PJ) on its way to me and I want to send it to a luthier to get it professionally set up, and to get a custom fret dress to improve the action. While I was was looking at the available local services it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to get the...

Backstory: Several years ago I was looking for a fiver that had a narrow nut, 18mm spacing and a slim neck. It took purchasing and selling a couple of basses before I realized this was what I wanted. I then found the 425x here in the classifieds. While I had never played a BB, I knew they...
