I have both the BBP35 and found someone locally selling the BBP434 with maple neck. I love them both! The 434 is really great quality for the money! Good luck on your journey finding the BBP34!
Man, these yamaha BB's sound amazing. Enjoyed playing the one I got to try in a guitar center a few months back. And I enjoyed your playing in this video sir!
I agree , I was going to get the BBP35 made in Japan, but it’s nowhere to be had and not for a long time, I spent the extra 1k and got STINGRAY SPECIAL HH USA and I’m so glad I bought it. It amazing, and yes..never settle , get on the list on Sweetwater , they will come eventually, just be patient
I have a BBP34 and the BB734A which is the version with a 3 band preamp and active passive option. Love them both for different reasons, but the BBP34 would be my "desert island" bass. It's so good.
I bought one of these at Sam Ash. I had it for a few days before I took it back because the P pickup was microphonic. The clicking when I was playing it was very noticeable. Plus I could talk into it and hear my voice through my amp. The bass played well and sounded nice but all of the extra noise drove me nuts.
I have a 79 pre ernie ball stingray it hangs on the wall because it's too heavy for me now, i got a Yamaha BB734 I put flats on it and it's now my go to bass and it dont feel or sound cheap !
- The bass sounds good Bob but I don’t blame you for wanting to try the BBP34. What made you switch from the Mesa 12” cabs to the Hartke 4x10’s. I’m currently pondering a new cab at this time myself.

Hey sonofsocal, I think you're right. Will wait and see what happens.

Hey Belman, thanks for the info!
I'm going to give the BBP a try as soon as they become available.

Hey bogeyking, I noticed the clicking also. Thanks for the info!

Haha you got it!
Go with your gut, and get the BBP34…you won’t be happy if you settle. Hope the New Year treats you, and yours well. Cheers
Hey Sean, you're right and that's what I'm going to do
You have a great year as well!
Good to see you. Happy new year. Bass sounds better than I’d imagined it would-biased against Yamaha a little.
Hey Invictus, good to hear from you! Happy New Year!

Hey What I, sounds great! I need to try one of those!
Interesting test. So, did you finally get your BBP34 ? What do you think about it ? Thanks from France 😉
I didn't. None of the stores had one available so I moved on.
Hi, can you give a suggestion which one is better? The BB434 or Squier Affinity PJ precision?
I prefer the BB but it's purely a matter of personal preference. Try them both and see which one fits for you.

Hey New England, the mesas sounded boxy to me. I'm digging the Hartke HL 410. Nice and clean and the HL is light weight.
