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 🍺🇨🇦
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.
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 ☺️
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 🗻
That's why I play Yamaha basses. Best bang for the buck and then some.
I REALLY want to try the BBP34 🇯🇵
Please do. I’ve been saving up. I would enjoy hearing your take on it.
Can second that, they’re some of the finest basses I’ve played, even the entry level models are stellar.
@@JonnyDibble tried a BBP34 recently at our local big box store, from end to end it was EVERYTHING. Try one ASAP!
I play Yamaha basses too. Especially since I’m a huge Yamaha fan. They’re underrated, awesome sounding, and they have unique designs.
It's always good to see what lesser known brands are doing, especially when they aren't making just another Fender shaped bass.
All for innovation!

I’m on my second FGN!
i’m staring at a japanese jazz bass on reverb and you post this! might just pull the trigger
Do it.
Pretty cool review, Jonny 😎🤘🏻🎸 that bass looks and sounds nice. Very retro looking and punchy sounding. Plus that red finish looks stunning 🤩
I'm waiting for a bacchus bass review. 😁
I love his voice. I could hear him talk all day
I’m far too boring for that! Thank-you 🤭
pickguard & headstock are kinda awkwardly shaped ...
very nice bass nonetheless, sounds great imho.
prefer it over 7ender any day
It’s a shame about the visuals
Great sounds from this bass.
Nah, all in the hands m8. (I jest, this bass slaps)
Could you please let me know when are you dropping the Z7 and/or Z3 review(s)?
When Sire want to send me one 🥲
Bass
Perfection.
@@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.
Very nice
Hope vola release a 4 string bass that’s not PJ. I want one but can’t justify it otherwise.
Definitely keeping my eye on them!
What is the relevance behind the nation-state where the bass was manufactured...?
Different processes and standards in different factories
@@JonnyDibble Different factories, not different countries :)

japanese bassists are insane it only makes sense that the instruments are nice
So good
I can only dream of Yamaha making a short scale model 😢
They need to bring one back!
Is the Vola superior to the Yamaha 735?
I’d say so, yes
It's sounds amazing, but I'm not a fan of long thin pointy head stocks!

I really REALLY want to love the looks
Japanese Fenders are best (new) Fenders
I agree ☝️
Id buy this bass if it was not active
Sweeet bass and it’s the same price as an American performer Fender in Canadian shekels. And the Sig one is amazing.
@@themigwel6185 it’s SO good
Wheeeeeeeeeeee...🤙🏼
Ayyyyyy
Sounds like some While She Sleeps P:
It was very inspired by Silence Speaks 😇😍
