Comments about Yamaha Billy Sheehan 4-String Electric Bass Guitar:
I purchased the BB714BS after playing it before a Billy Sheehan clinic. Even met Billy and got him to sign the headstock. Now, I care a lot more about how a bass sounds and feels than the name on it. This model is a very unique instrument. It can absolutely BOOM out with the humbucker "woofer" pickup dialed way up, or find a more sensitive side via the multiple position tone knob and blending in the P pickup. The neck fits me perfectly; the bass has a fast action. Billy did spec the ingredients for this bass with Yamaha. No, it doesn't have a scalloped fretboard or stereo. Buy the Attitude if you want that. I play this bass professionally, along with a Washburn USA custom 5 string and a Fender fretless. Each bass has it's own sound. The BB714BS is a blast to rock out on. The fit and finish are great, and the quality/value quotient is high. If you want a rock-out sound, this is a fine instrument for the money.
Comments about Yamaha Billy Sheehan 4-String Electric Bass Guitar:
I tried out this bass in a shop today, it played ok, sounded alright, but its really not worth what is being charged for it.its not in stereo, so the sound can get a little muddy from the neck pickup. and if you dont use the neck pickup it sounds just like a p bass, and the neck isnt any thicker than a standard p bass.this unfortunately is not a billy sheehan bass, rather a BB bass with a humbucker in the neck position and a p-bass pickup in the middle.save up for the attitude II
