Muzz Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Thanks for that, unfortunately still too heavy for me these days. It's a shame, but getting old sucks... Quote

Raj_Shredder Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I finally picked up my first BB!! A matte black 734A. It was a bit of a train wreck when I got it, but after a seriously lengthy fretboard cleaning and a much needed setup, it’s absolutely fantastic. It’s really quite the player!! 14 Quote

soulstar89 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago (edited) I just went to try some bb basses at Yamaha. Tried the bbp34, bb434 and bb734A. I have a 79 Yamaha pulser 400 which has a 39” neck and Bartolini pickups. The bbp34 was great. Built well, growly tone. For someone who never gets on with active basses at all (I’m an analogue person) I preferred the bb734A. It was easier to dial in things as everything has a d10 notch. Genuinely shocked I preferred it. Tone reminded me of my Bart’s. made me think, is the tone I like even vintage. Edited 6 hours ago by soulstar89 Quote

I played the exact same today. I’m surprised how much I liked it as it’s active. Truly an enjoyable bass to play. Quote
soulstar89 Posted 57 minutes ago Posted 57 minutes ago (edited) Question. What are the EQ frequency settings of the bass,mids,treble on the Yamaha bb734A. I have looked on the Yamaha website and it doesn’t state. Internet doesn’t come back with anything either Cheers Edited 54 minutes ago by soulstar89 Quote
