Yamaha BB434

[peety]

Good afternoon gents I'm after a bit of info from you Yamaha aficionados , I'm looking for a new back up for my Maruszczyk Jake, currently i have a Squier Affinity precision which although it is perfectly decent I tend not to use it and gig exclusively with the Jake. So, I'm thinking about selling it and buying something that i would be tempted to gig a little bit more with. The two options I'm considering are the Yamaha BB434 or the fender Player precision which is probably the safe option as i had one before and know what it does. However, Im intrigued by the Yamaha and I know many of you on the site speak highly of the quality of basses they produce. Was just wondering if any of you currently play the 434 and could give me a steer on how they differ from the good old P Bass. I fully intend having a ride to try one out for myself but thought I'd take advantage of the knowledgeable members of basschat first. For context i play in a covers band that plays a fairly eclectic mix of indie, pop, rock and a bit of motown. Any advice or recommendations will be gratefully received Thanks Steve
