Yamaha Review: BB G5

Yamaha Bass Guitars

History:

Purchase: Please see my review "BB 405 4-knob". The sales slip and hang tag for my [used] bass say it's a BB 405, but I'm becoming more convinced that it's really a BB G5, which, as far as I can tell so far, is the same "woodwork" as a BB 405 but has entirely different PUs and electronics, thus the other review specifying [titled] "Yamaha BB405 4-knob". Originally, I'd thought that mine was an earlier version, that current 405's were "economized" versions of the older, but now I think mine is really a BB G5.

What I Like About This Yamaha BB G5: see other review. sorry for title error.

What I Do NOT Like About The Yamaha BB G5: see other review.

Yamaha BB G5 Quality Rating: see other review.

Review Summary: If you are considering a BB G5, this is a pointer to a G5 review that was given a wrong title. Anyway it's easy to play and affordably priced, but it's voice is possibly an "acquired taste".

Rating of this Yamaha product: 4
