My first guitar was a BB424X, which is a helluva lot of guitar for the money. I then ended up with a few Fenders (American J, American P, and an AVRI J) and then this came up: The Yamaha went along the way.
I then needed to pick up a five string for a few songs being added to our set such as No One Knows. II was thinking about a 1025 or 2025 as my old teacher said that Fender Vs weren't as good as the four strings. And then this came up:
The neck is glorious and very flat and suits a low action. Tonally it is massively versatile and the P bass tone when rolled off is lovely. B string is good. Really punchy bass and enormous sustain.
