I think there are several variants of the model with slight differences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javi_bassist Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I got a pair of Delano pickups for my BB605. I tend to prefer the 605 to the 735. Both are really good, but the BB605 feels better in my hands. It feels even better than basses that I have that cost a lot more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the preamp on my 734 but the 605 is so nice to play and still good enough to get some great tones. I might look into upgrading the pickups and preamp after seeing what @javi_bassist has done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass itself is pretty amazing and comfortable. I think that with some investment it's a beast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzilla Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 That’s a beauty of a bass, I used to have that exact same model in a fretless, was fantastic and miss it dearly but wasn’t getting the use. Still got it’s natural fretted brother though. Excellent basses. Would love to come across that fretless again someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a little book of BB’s and I tick them off - sort of like Pokémon Go, but for yamaha BB basses… I’m on “stop” at the minute… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMRbass Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hello 🤘 Would some of you know if there is any reason why some BBs(400s, 1000s, 2000s) come with this label on the back and some from the same series just don't? Best and Happy New Year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I thought it was ones made outside Japan have it, Japanese ones don't? Could be very wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It was something I noticed when the 2024 came out. None of the 2024s I saw had it, the 1024s and below did. My TRB 4 and 6 don't have it but the Bex4 did. Purely anecdotal, rather than something I could say for sure, though 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
