I own a NYC Sadowsky5 and Ken Smith BTG5 Custom Bass. I just purchased a Yamaha TRB 1006J and absolutely love it. Yamaha offers more bang for the buck than boutique basses costing way more money! Excellent quality and sound.
Wow I purchased the BB735A few months ago. As I was watching this Vid i almost thought that you would rank this bass as Decent or good...but i am impressed that you ranked it has outstanding. You are certainly right this bass is bang for your buck. Great features and tone for the price.
Yamaha BB series FTW!!! I'm a massive fan too, got one of those, it's still among the best basses I've ever played. Still puts a big smile on my face whenever I play it.
Hard to go wrong with a BB. Definitely a Yamaha voicing, but absolutely killer versatility and sounds. Just talking about it has got me craving a BB2025 again 😫 T
Totally agree on the 735A, I've been using the coffee bust 4 string version, the 734a. It really has everything I want in a bass, same pickups as the pro model, active passive with passive tone control, agree on the blend control, low battery indicator on the back......etc what a bass and for the money is a total bargain.
I own a 1982 model BB2000. It's by far the best non-precision style bass I've ever played in terms of both construction AND overall tone. Much better than my Sadowsky Metro Jazz { which I've since sold }, vintage { '78 } or modern USA { 2012 Am std } Fender Jazz bases, and 2005 Musicman stingray. The sound is phenomenal. It sits in the mix like nothing else. A beast of a bass.
That’s a pretty cool video, Tyler. I’m a huge Yamaha fan and I currently own a bb235 and a trbx505 bass. The trbx is definitely one of the best basses I’ve ever own. I am thinking about purchasing another trbx bass since I like these basses so much.
@@TylerSpicer Indeed you can't really go wrong with yamaha basses. I play 5-string basses exclusively. so most likely I was thinking of getting a yamaha trbx605fm. either in transparent black or dark red burst. my other choice would most likely would be either a yamaha trbx305 in a factory blue finish or a yamaha bb435. either in black or teal blue. if yamaha does make a 6-string trbx, I would like to check it out.
Great info Tyler! My 1st bass was Yamaha BB 615, I currently own NE2, 5P1, TRBX 305, I've owned and tried the high end JP2, JP1, 6P1, 6P2, 5PII, 6II, Korean 1005, 1006 Taiwanese John Myung, 505, 605, BB 735 and some other series I forgot, I would put 5P & NE2 in OUTSTANDING, TRBX 305 on GREAT for the money, 735 is also a nice joint to have. 615 with only active preamp also would sit in GREAT, don't forget the Korean 1005 would be in GREAT bass :)
Amazing! I really enjoy doing them and it seems you guys do too! Definitely gonna do an all - brand tier list, but a big best budget bass tier list sounds like a great and really helpful list to make for people looking in that category. T
Great video! I'm a multi-instrumentalist and I've been looking to make my first investment into a bass. Been looking into getting a BB234/5 or the next level of the line after a good bit of research. I've had a Yamaha acoustic-electric for several years and recently picked up a Yamaha Pacifica in place of a strat-style guitar from budget brands like Squier and Epiphone. Yamaha just has superior consistency in quality.

I have a 1024x and it's my favourite P style bass that I own. I'd definetly place it in upper 2 categories. I wouldn't trade it for any American Fender.
I just purchased a 735a, more or less on your recommendation, and love it! Amazing instrument. I was wondering what strings you might recommend work well with it?
Amazing news! Glad I could help, I think it might be the best bang for buck at that level full stop! I was using Dunlop super brights a lot with that bass which sounded good, but I feel it’s pickups might suit something a little less gritty in the midrange. My current love are the LaBella RX strings which just sound like the perfect round-wound studio sound the moment you put them on. Maybe give those a try? T
You sold me on the BB735A! I think BBP35 users don’t need preamp since they mainly use tube amp heads or high end tube pedals when performing on large stages
I have previously owned a TRBX174, TRBX305 and BB434, sold everything due to upgrading and gas... regretted it, luckily I've managed to order a BB435 in teal blue
@@TylerSpicer I bought the TRBX174 as I played guitar and wanted to play bass, that was my first bass. I bought the TRBX305 to replace the sold 174, the music my band were playing needs 5'er, then bought BB434 as I really like the look of it, now I am into Yamaha instruments at this stage. Sold 305 as I find BB434 to be enough, but it wasn't always enough, sold 434 and bought 435, now I'm gassing for 605, 😅😂
@@TylerSpicer I didn't want to part with my Yamahas, my acoustic is a Yamaha, I really like the quality of their instruments.. the workmanship is almost the same on all the Yamahas I've owned, and by the same, I mean it's excellent for the price. I can say that after having owned 434 and now the 435
Hey man cool vid. I’m a huge Yamaha fan. Have played an RBX375 for about 14 years, I’m just comfortable with it. After all these years I think it feels a bit tired. I upgraded the preamp but something about the sound just isn’t cutting it (I played in a sort of weird metal-ish band and want that big aggressive tone). The 5th string sustain isn’t quite what it was as well. I’ve never really had it set up because it played so damn well off the shelf and is so comfy I’ve always been afraid someone will ruin it. I’m kind of torn as to what to do. The pickups have these thumb rests which are pretty cool and comfy - from what I know other pickups tend to be smaller and don’t slot in well. Retiring this bass would also feel like leaving an old friend haha. Any advice?
I have 10 Yamaha's in my collection of 40 and have been playing them for 42 years now. From the amazing 1974 Sa-75 right up to the amazing classic BB's and HI Fi sounding TRB's. When I leave the house to play I will bring at least one Yamaha. Funny enough my go too is a BB614 that just has bridge and tuner upgrades.
Hi, I have always played more vintage style fender basses but wanted something with new technology so I bought a BB734A. This doesn't disappoint. It feels like a high end instrument and would recommend Yamaha basses . Thanks for the great vidieo.
Yamaha has pretty dope stuff. Love their Revstar guitars, the old Rack Multi-fx units and basses. But god help me, the menu diving in the Modx/Montage is bonkers. It's like the guys there wake up in the morning thinking "how can we make this even more convoluted"
Most of my musical life is built around Yamaha, their guitars for recording, their monitors, their Steinberg interfaces (until recently!) and their MOX synth. Totally agree about menu diving on those montages, I don’t think usability was thought through as much as functionality. Beasts for sure, if you can find your way around! 😂 T
Most excellent! I have a BB 615 and I would put it in the outstanding category. If you ever see one, try it! I want a 735a so bad for the same reasons you categorized it as outstanding.
Mind if I ask your opinion 735a vs bb5000? I am in Japan and wanna fiver. There are some 735as that i like for about 400 to 500 pounds. Though part of me want to try and snag a bb5000, they are rare but pop up here every few months. Though they go for probably double that of the 735a.
Hey Tyler, great video! I was hoping you could give me some advice ;) I want to buy a Precision style Bass and was contemplating between a new Yamaha 734A and a used Fender American Standard Precision from 2011. The Fender costs about 200 bucks more. I really love the general Fender look and the color of that very instrument but the Yamaha sound samples I heard also sounded great and unfortunately I can't compare the two basses in person. I already own a Sire V7 so I got the Jazz Bass department covered and as I play my Basses mostly for home recording the verstility from a JP Style is not that important to me. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these two basses. Edit: Now there's also a used Nate Mendel Signature model for the same price as the Yamaha available. Too many choices... D:
A tough one for sure! For home recording I’d probably shoot for the Fender Standard P (I don’t like the jazz neck on the Mendel, whilst everything else hardware wise is very good). That’s gonna just sound sound like you expect a P bass to sound and have solid resale down the road. You also don’t have to worry about batteries, active/passive etc and can just grab it and go for recording and use the tone knob to shape your sound. I love the Yamaha and its PJ setup, but it is a Yamaha take on those sounds, and not the classic Fender sound. Given you have the rear pickup option on your Sire, I think that would be my choice. The fact that the tone control doesn’t roll off in the same way on the Yammy as the Fender also makes the Fender the choice for me as a second bass for recording! T

Hey Tyler, I wondered if I could ask you a question? I'm in the market for my first 5 string bass and I've decided on Yamaha. How would you compare the tone of the 735a to the TRB 505X? I'm interested in both but can't decide yet. I play funky, punk..... a bit of slap........ rock............ which would you choose? Kind regards,
Hey! The TRBs are great, but I feel the 735 will more naturally cover the rock stuff as well as the funk and give you those classic tones. Switch it to the P when you’re doing the rock and punk thing, Nudge it back towards the J slightly for the slap and funk stuff. The TRBs are great but for a rock thing, not gonna sit in the mix as naturally. T
Just got back with the bass. It's beautiful to look at. Really dark fretboard.. It's lighter than I expected. Feels good. Like good quality.@@TylerSpicer
Not much of a fan of PJ configurations.. I have one from FMI and the mix is touchy.. I mostly use the bass either as a P with some level of tone or just a J with the tone off. There is only one ‘mix’ I prefer and not always easy to dial in with the presence of sound in the room and not often required, since the P or J sound usually suffice for what needs to be played and how the bass needs to be physically attacked for the bass part. That said, there is another ‘sound’ that’s afforded by the combination, but way overrated, as there are ways around it. I think my biggest beef is the unseamlessness of the combination. Maybe the really expensive PJ’s are better ?
I’ve got a bb1200 1984 immaculate condition original hard case been stuck at my moms for 25 years if anyone would like to make me a offer it’s a fantastic bass Peter hook
@@TylerSpicer i have one it has been in my spare bedroom for thirty years ca,t bring myself to sell it in original case it a fab base slim neck easy for smaller finger great finish on it and some belt buckle rash and crazy sounds with old vale amp

Maybe the really expensive PJ’s are better ?
No 1024 or 25X?

These sre more or less ranked by price lol. Not really useful.
Unfortunately it’s how I feel - instruments at the top of the Indonesian made range are your best bet for value though!
