Review: You will not be disappointed with the BB735A! - Excellent Excellent Excellent! Can't say enough good about this bass and service! Sounds amazingly better than my TRBX305 even though I love that smooth sounding bass too! Glad I switched and got a great well-made soft case with it for free! This bass is not only well made, high quality product, but sounds so rich and bright even in passive mode. Deep powerful lows and very versatile in sound shaping with the three way EQ. Smooth and very comfortable neck, no sharp frets. Just a little heavier than my 305, but no complaints on that. My last bass for sure, not looking anywhere else after this. Thank you Sweetwater for the great service and candy! Update on the case: It's a bit short, causing the tuner knob (D) to push against the inside of the zipper. Extra care to be taken when zipping shut. But the plush velvet inside is a great feature!
Review: Love this bass!! - Loved this bass so much, I bought the 4 string version as well. I now own 6 Yamaha basses and each and every one of them is an excellent value. Construction, features, value for the money and materials are all excellent. The tone of this bass ranges from smooth and mellow to deep and growly. Buy one!
