The GREATEST improvement of this series of Yamaha BB basses is the fact that you can now install aftermarket pickups. The major achilles heel of all BB basses was that Yamaha designed their pickups with their stock design-only components that never allowed you to swap out the pickups with aftermarket upgrades without making some drastic alteration to the pickup cavity on the body...The pre-amp still needs work, but it's tolerable.

I agree, this is a cool improvement. I also think that the stock pickup are not that bad, same with the preamp. I’ve used them stock in live and recording situations and it turns out to be good sounding and easely manageable. So if you’re low on budget, it will work very well as it is. And as usual, you can change the pick up and circuitry in order to have a big upgrade. 😉😉😉
Walter Pribac parce que c'est une Yamaha, parce que c'est une BB! Je possède la BBp35 et cette instrument est juste incroyable mais la 735A comme celle dans la vidéo est une basse formidable pour le prix, très versatile ( la vidéo permet d'apprécier sa palette sonore ) et la qualité est au top. Yamaha est souvent dans l'oubli dans le monde de la basse mais pourtant, tu peux payer le double de ce prix sans même avoir cette qualité.
Very impressive demo and very impressive bass. IT would be nice to know whether the bass was on active or passive, and if the former, where the tone controls were set. These are big features that set this active model apart from the passive B434, which also sounds great.
@ I am Belge donc I am also speaking French ! Très chouette album c'est vrai, on raconte toujours d'ailleurs que des parties de batteries ont été refaites en studio, peu importe, c'est un super album live et une référence. Phil Lynott faisant d'ailleurs partie de mes bassistes préférés, triste destin. J'avais repris Dancing in the moonlight sur ma chaîne. Salutations musicales.
Thank you Francois! I did end up getting a black one and I am enjoying it a lot. I will need lots of practice to catch up to you! I have had 3 back injuries, which is why I asked about the weight and it turned out to be very comfortable. Thanks, James
I have one and it comes with D'Addario EXL170 45 to 100 and the weight, well it's lighter than my Sire V7 4 string ash and my Music man Stingray, sorry i don't have any scales.

This is by far the best demo of this bass I've been able to find (and I've looked).

Just curious, what’s up with the preamp?

Kick ass video no matter what the setting this bass kicks ass
Bonne demo !
Merci bcp! 🙏🙏👍
Belle performance quel talent 👏👏👏
Et aussi tous ces LP que l'on voit miam miam 😁 😍🤗😍
🎸🙂🎸
Yes merci, c'est très sympa !! 😉 😉 😉
cool demo! im curious as im trying to find a thinner neck. would you say it could be thinner then a, fender P.Jazz ? thanks
Hi thanks! 😉 😉 😉 The neck is right in the middle between jazz and P, very confortable. 😉
Is that color still in the market?
Thank you for the demo. I want to try this bass. It's really really interesting alternative for PJ active /passive basses. And this look :)
Thank you! Yes, definitely a great PJ Bass!
And the price is great,this bass as specs and looks and sound is unbeatable in this price range.
T.I.N Mateus some say p pickup is not beefy enought. Well I will check myself in a week or two :>
publiuss me too but in two weeks ,cause mine arrives then ;)exactly like this in the video.
It would be nice to know what the settings are in each of these clips. I’m most interested in which are active and which are passive
He is in active mode the entire time. I have this bass and the toggle switch is in the down position which is the active mode.
Merci. From afriqua
🙏🙏🙏

In case you are still wondering after 3 years; only active. you can easily tell be looking at if the switch is down (active) or up (passive).
Mais oui !
Live and dangerous... ;-)
Yeah my favorite live album! Thanks for spotting it. 😉😉😉

Salut j'ai une 434 je ne sais pas si l'upgrade vaut le cout vers une 734
Salut, tout dépend si tu cherches de l'actif en électronique. L'avantage avec la 734, tu as les deux possibilités.;-)
Vous ete la premier fouia que je fait un comentaire merci.
Merci ! 🙏🙏🙏
Cool video is it worth 700
Great....real life (excellent) paying. None of this silly fast thumbing, slapping, thumb/first finger muting none of which I can watch in a review. 👍
Yes, thanks a lot!! 😉 😉
Is it heavy?
Not so heavy, around 4.2 kg. 😉
Hello, sais-tu si toutes les hard case classiques type precision conviennent à cette basse ? Je sais as vers quoi me diriger .. Merci 🙂
Oui, sans problèmes les formats sont assez proches . Conseil prends un flight qui accepte les basses en général.
Est ce que vous la conseillez en complément d’une jazz bass?? Merci super démo
Oui, c'est un très bon complément à une jazz bass. 😉 😉 😉
Awesome demo, thanks! Can you tell me if this bass is heavy? light? weight wise. Original strings or different gauge? Thank you!
Hi James! This is around 3,8~4kg, i'm using the regular string that are loaded i think it's 45-105. 😉
Thank you Francois! I did end up getting a black one and I am enjoying it a lot. I will need lots of practice to catch up to you! I have had 3 back injuries, which is why I asked about the weight and it turned out to be very comfortable. Thanks, James
James, if you haven't already done so, get yourself a Neotech Mega Strap, very comfortable. Good luck with the new bass.
Thank you Alec! They look good. I will try one, thanks for the advice!
I have one and it comes with D'Addario EXL170 45 to 100 and the weight, well it's lighter than my
Sire V7 4 string ash and my Music man Stingray, sorry i don't have any scales.
