銅でもいいださん: 購入当初低音部と高音部の音が合わなかった。出荷前の未調整と思われる。しばらく弾いて調子を合わせた。
多少不満は残るが値段相応と判断する。ベースは弦が太いので慣れるのに時間がかかる。

GF: It is so easy to play it. I am beginner who started with Chio Donner and Squire electric guitars, and it shows the difference. The Yamaha bass is absolutely in an other class. The neck, compered to the others, is a fast track, a race track. Plus the knobs are very good quality with a middle step, as the old balance potentiometer on old style Hi-Fi Amplifier. I really like it a lot.

Matt: I've been playing guitar for nearly 20 years and this is my first bass. I like it quite a bit and would say it's a good deal for the price. I have a few minor complaints though.

The picture shows a gig bag but mine did not include one. I would have ordered a separate bag/case ahead of time if I knew one wouldn't be included. A $500+ instrument should at least include a cheap basic bag.
The fret ends on my bass aren't great. They're not really sharp but I've been snagged a couple of times while playing. Some have the tang sticking out slightly from the sides of the fretboard too. They could definitely use some work. Pretty disappointing because during my research I saw many people raving about Yamaha's top-notch quality control on their budget instruments. I've had other instruments in this price range with much better fret work.
I got the translucent white model and there is a small blue stain on the front of the body. Not sure how that would have happened. I don't really like the look of the finish much either. It looks cheap up close and in most lighting appears more grey than white. Not a huge deal but worth pointing out for those that care about appearance.
Oh,...

Mike Johnson: When I was young I had a Yamaha. I indid up panning it and never got it back. Got older and realized I wanted to start playing again. Brought back alot of old times for me. Very good bass for the price.

david: Good bass. I just started out, and it's pretty good. Not sure if its action is a bit higher than it should be. Otherwise good.

Owen BarronOwen Barron: When I first saw this thing it looked sick but it’s even better in person. The old violin finish makes it beautiful to look at and it’s beautiful to play, comes pre stringed so it’s like $30 you ain’t gotta spend on a new set of strings, really fun to play around with and don’t crank the bass to high on a bad amp cuz I blew mine up

Buz Kindling: I love this bass. I’m a beginner bass player (so don’t quote me), but this bass feels to me like it might be the Subaru of basses. I can’t afford to drive anything more expensive than a Subaru, but God do I love my Subaru. This bass feels good in my hands, and it feels reliable. It’s easy to admire every part of it. Based on what I’ve learned to look at (thank you YouTube), the setup seems to be almost perfect right out of the box. Truss rod looks perfect. Maybe I’ll tweak the intonation on one of the strings, or maybe it’s fine for now. I assume many would lower the action a bit, but I think it might be just right for me. The satin neck feels good, and the fret wires are sufficiently smooth at the ends, at least on the one I received. And although the body is now covered in my own fingerprints, which are mostly visible only to me, it still seems to get a little prettier every day. It’s right next to me, on its stand, and I can’t look at it without smiling.

Dave Clark: This bass was set up very well and was ready to play right out of the box. It's light and well-balanced, looks every bit as good as the pictures. The neck is just a bit wider than my 70's Precision (4 string), but it's thinner so is actually much easier to get around. The overall sound is good -- and may be great once I find the best strings for it. The active/passive switch and the LED battery indicator are both really handy and not often found in this price range.

I re-strung it for a high C tuning and changed to a lighter gauge of strings with a 0.040" G string. Though the nut slots are much wider than I need for this setup, I haven't experienced any problems with playability or tuning. I've been able to set the action fairly low, just above 2mm at the 24th fret except for the E string which needed 3mm.

The total length and the body are both somewhat smaller than a Precision, and it feels really comfortable. The flip side is that finding a hard case that fits snugly is a challenge since Yamaha doesn't sell one, and it moves around far too much in the cases I already have. But it's totally fine in my gigbag.

If there's a weak spot for this instrument it's...
