Yamaha BB435 vs Yamaha TRBX604

The only issue with the bass is that the J pickup is a bit noisy, but if you roll it down 1/4, the noise goes away. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the bass. I had a very small issue with the shipping that the seller, GearTree, was very quick to resolve to my satisfaction. Superb customer service

When I first plugged in the bass, I could hear some serious humming from the neck pickup. I plugged my amp into a few different outlets, to see if it was a bad ground, but it persisted until I tossed the junk battery that came with the bass out and put in a new one. This fixed the humming noise unless I max the treble out, in which case I can hear it just slightly again. To sum up, this bass gets 3

The other thing that we did is, thanks to our friend Billy Sheehan, is we took this design right off of his bass. So the Billy Sheehan Attitude bass h...

It lacked focus but what do you expect for 650 dollars. Im keeping the bass because its built solid but I'm upgrading the pick ups and electronics with aguilars and for good measure im replacing the bridge as well with a hipshot bridge. The original electronis and pick ups are fine if you just jamming in a garage but im a performing musician and supplement my income performing and i did not hear the tone that would sound well live for the type of music i play.

One last note - Amazon ships these in their factory shipping box, but I had no issues. The hardshell case the bass came packaged in was fine, unblemished and totally safe when it arrived at my door. I would recommend this over any comparably priced bass, and to anyone who wants a passive, vintage-style bass that does the classic P-Bass thing exceedingly well but offers more than any other manufacturer can offer at the price. This is a lifetime type instrument for me, I believe

It sounds great in a recording, probably the best sounding bass i have had. I had plans of selling this off but after recording it for a sound test I was hooked. Now this is one of the first basses we go to for recording. For me this was a great deal

You get an alder body with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard; already uncommon these days when you have manufacturers charging you much more for basses made with poplar bodies. Folks, poplar is not a tone wood and it is only fit for making bookshelves in your kid’s bedroom. However, what really impresses me about this bass is the build quality, the playability and the tone; it’s a great bass by any measure. I was originally planning on replacing the pickups but it was not necessary, the stock pickups sound great

My TRBX604 outshines my Fender Precision and my Sandberg Electra in terms of playability and flexibility. Highly recommended!

I was just so excited I wanted to review it right away. I'm not new to this. I starting playing the summer of 1980. I own a fender jazz deluxe,A MIM jazz, 2 Ibanez sr4 series, A sterling Ray 5, and a fender dimension all 5 strings

I still love Sandberg's instruments, but I don't see myself buying one any time soon. When I was shopping for a 5-string, I compared a bunch of them as well - Ibanez, Yamaha, Sandberg, Lakland, Fender ..
