That's why I play Yamaha basses. Best bang for the buck and then some.

[@JonnyDibble]

I REALLY want to try the BBP34 🇯🇵

[@jamessechman8560]

Please do. I’ve been saving up. I would enjoy hearing your take on it.

[@cursedforanovice1072]

Can second that, they’re some of the finest basses I’ve played, even the entry level models are stellar.

[@cursedforanovice1072]

@@JonnyDibble tried a BBP34 recently at our local big box store, from end to end it was EVERYTHING. Try one ASAP!

[@alexskibicki2262]

I play Yamaha basses too. Especially since I’m a huge Yamaha fan. They’re underrated, awesome sounding, and they have unique designs.

[@christopherfidler3019]

You can still find a decent American Fender but the Japanese seem more consistent in quality. I have 3x Fender Japan JB Reissues, 1x Jaguar Reissue and a FGN JB (yeah, I went down the Japanese rabbit hole hard). All the necks are immaculate. I recommend Kinko Music, Ishibashi and Danny Stewart 🍺🇨🇦

[@JonnyDibble]

I’m on my second FGN!

[@abouc]

It's always good to see what lesser known brands are doing, especially when they aren't making just another Fender shaped bass.

[@JonnyDibble]

All for innovation!

[@marck7270]

pickguard & headstock are kinda awkwardly shaped ...
very nice bass nonetheless, sounds great imho.
prefer it over 7ender any day

[@JonnyDibble]

It’s a shame about the visuals

[@DrwNrcs]

I'm waiting for a bacchus bass review. 😁

[@neonsupra]

Bass

[@JonnyDibble]

Perfection.

[@christopherfidler3019]

@@JonnyDibble BEHS Edit: I love you Jonny but please invest in a second hand Beatbuddy or some backing tracks. Demos are a little on the dry side.

[@BYLRPhil]

Japanese Fenders are best (new) Fenders

[@JonnyDibble]

I agree ☝️

[@Bassman1999]

It’s a shame the bass hasn’t had a set up before the review. Some notes are choking out and there is string buzz. I think they got it wrong with that headstock, very wrong. Good review though playing different styles and options.

[@JonnyDibble]

Hmm, it’s set up really well out of the box tbh! What you’re hearing is just fresh strings and lots of attack. String noise isn’t always a bad thing ☺️

[@mapowey]

japanese bassists are insane it only makes sense that the instruments are nice

[@JonnyDibble]

So good

[@themigwel6185]

Sweeet bass and it’s the same price as an American performer Fender in Canadian shekels. And the Sig one is amazing.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@themigwel6185 it’s SO good

[@bengribben569]

i’m staring at a japanese jazz bass on reverb and you post this! might just pull the trigger

[@JonnyDibble]

Do it.

[@pattonPwr]

Id buy this bass if it was not active

[@mauriciomarchant8206]

Could you please let me know when are you dropping the Z7 and/or Z3 review(s)?

[@JonnyDibble]

When Sire want to send me one 🥲

[@00Platypus00]

What is the relevance behind the nation-state where the bass was manufactured...?

[@JonnyDibble]

Different processes and standards in different factories

[@00Platypus00]

@@JonnyDibble Different factories, not different countries :)

[@alexskibicki2262]

Pretty cool review, Jonny 😎🤘🏻🎸 that bass looks and sounds nice. Very retro looking and punchy sounding. Plus that red finish looks stunning 🤩

[@mr_ozzio5095]

It's sounds amazing, but I'm not a fan of long thin pointy head stocks!
The built quality is will always be above and beyond, that's just how they roll in Japan 🗻

[@JonnyDibble]

I really REALLY want to love the looks

[@everyvillainislarry]

Hope vola release a 4 string bass that’s not PJ. I want one but can’t justify it otherwise.

[@JonnyDibble]

Definitely keeping my eye on them!

[@chryzoliz]

I can only dream of Yamaha making a short scale model 😢

[@JonnyDibble]

They need to bring one back!

[@Rondoggy67]

Very nice

[@maikfohnan1415]

Is the Vola superior to the Yamaha 735?

[@JonnyDibble]

I’d say so, yes

[@ramencurry6672]

I love his voice. I could hear him talk all day

[@JonnyDibble]

I’m far too boring for that! Thank-you 🤭

[@guillermomoreira5601]

Sounds like some While She Sleeps P:

[@JonnyDibble]

It was very inspired by Silence Speaks 😇😍

[@strannikr9497]

Great sounds from this bass.

[@JonnyDibble]

Nah, all in the hands m8. (I jest, this bass slaps)

[@DJPLAYNICE]

Wheeeeeeeeeeee...🤙🏼

[@JonnyDibble]

Ayyyyyy
