This bass was bought for home recording and it looks, sounds and plays very good. (I am a guitarist so take that with a pinch of salt). I use it for low tuned modern metal music and in B standard (its default tuning) its very good. My 1 issue was when going to dropped A tuning the 1st (heaviest) string sounds too dead and for me not usable in that tuning. However... I think this would easily be fixed with a tweak to the set up? or a different string gauge, which I plan to try.
In general its a very good bass and im very happy with it

I needed a 5 string bass in my repertoire so when I saw this Yamaha in red I had to have it. It is a beautiful bass, worthy of showing off - it's on the wall in my living room where it gets praises from guests.
It is a long scale 5 string so it is pretty difficult to play compared to a 4 string short scale. It is worth the effort and the extra string comes in handy.
It was well set up out of the box and free from blemishes and imperfections. The strings are high quality as are the knobs and electronics. The active pickups along with the tone switch allow for diverse playing styles.
