I shall be returning home off my hols to a 4str Variax later this week....quite looking forward to it...although shame to hear the synths are pants...we'll see

Having read pretty much the entire thread now i think i am going to have to pull the trigger on one of these As well as being useful for my covers bands i am also quite into jamming dubby dancey stuff with some mates. How do you guys rate the synths, envelope filters ? Also has anyone achieved anything dubstep sounding... ish?

I've got a white BB425, awesome basses! I want a 424 now!

If playing with my soul outfit i love playing Dusty's version of 'Son of a preacher man' - it's like a kind of stoned line, if playing reggae i quite like 'Johnny be Good' Peter Tosh version & if playing Ska then 'Ghost town' is good fun. Must confess to getting into my blues/jazz walking though at the mo and really enjoying 'Zoot suit riot' by the Cherry poppin Daddies...i don't play it note for note though.... i just do my own walk...with a few trips on the way (not the LSD type btw)

I'm loving my recently acquired BB425 from Telebass off here. I haven't got a bad word to say about these basses...quite the opposite. I was pleasantly shocked at just about everything about the bass - plays beautiful, low action, looks great, extremely well built, perfect intonation, and awesome tone too. The neck profile reminds me of a few Lakland 5ers that i've past owned so that was a nice surprise also. I feel the GAS looming which often makes me think i should get a matching 424 - hmmm one needs money!!!. On my 425 the P pick up, with the current TI flats that are on it, makes for a killer dub/reggae tone which is ultimately what this bass is being used for, very chuffed with these basses... definitely one of Yamaha's jewel in the budget crown.

Just sold my bitsa P bass to Kert. Despite crappy Royal mail taking eons to deliver it finally got delivered and Kert was cool all along with there slow delivery- much appreciated. Enjoy the bass matey. Buyers & sellers can deal in total confidence, a credit to basschat

Recently bought some Wizard 64's Jazz PU's off Donny. True gent, great comms all round...recommend -cheers matey.

Have just done a cash/trade for Den's lovely BB425 Yamaha Bass. Totally top fellow all round & he even came around to deliver the bass pre his gig - brilliant!...Thankfully from not too far away though . Totally in love with the bass, in fact i'm quite blown away how good it actually is...will the fenders be taking a back seat???...ahem! . Anyhow, big thumbs up from me, buyers & sellers can deal in total confidence
