Yamaha BB vs Fender Jazz (PJ vs JJ pickups) DI and amp sim
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- American Special Jazz bass and Yamaha BBP35 with both pickups on. First half is only DI with light compression and the second half is through Helix Native Ampeg SVT with 8x10 sim on. Both basses have medium old Ernie Ball Slinky strings and both have tone at 80%. Hope this helps someone!

I love the BB's growl!
I keep coming back to these video's, last time I said the Fender was my favourite, this time it's the Yamaha!

Came for the basses, stayed for the playing. So tight, rhythmic and musical... a joy to my ears. Thanks :)
Thank you!
That’s exactly what happened with me!
The Yamaha has more grunt from the P style split neck coils but the Fender seems to have a more rounded softer tone within the mix. Both are great bass’
Great job!! Your demonstrations are always musical and of very high quality. It's amazing how close these basses sound to one another.
something about those yamaha basses man, i think i need one. just so aesthetically and sonically pleasing
Thanks for making this! Helped as I was considering buying a BB735a. Which I am now enjoying thoroughly!
Glad I could help!
Hampus. This definitely helped me. After much research on what new bass to buy, I had narrowed it down to Fender Jazz or Yamaha BB735A (perhaps BBP35). So your video was exactly the AB comparison I needed. Perfect. (And excellent playing). Decision made. If a guy must choose between these two stellar instruments, then it must be BB35! Thank you for taking time to do this.
I have the BB735A it's an amazing bass for the price and the BP35 Is even better.
Shadrick. HOW is the BBP series better.? Would love your insights. Thx.
@@treyhanna4127 I'll be honest I have not played the BP35. I just currently own the BB735A. When I meant Its even better it was just based on the videos I have seen in comparison to the BB735A AND FENDERS etc. It was also just based on my own opinion. However even though the specs are identical to the BB735A the BP35 is made in Japan with IRA treatment which gives it a tone as if the bass as been played for years enhancing the tone. It has a much more growly tone. But it also depends on what you prefer. Someone who owns both said on one of the vids the sustain of the BP35 is a much better. I love my BB735A im still in awe of such quality of what yamaha has put into this instrument. I have played other basses within the same price bracket and nothing compares. That's just my opinion though. Would be nice to get proper insight of someone who actually owns both. Check Miki Santamaria he demos both of these instruments.
@@CHUBBY12309 Shadrick - thanks for informative, helpful reply!
SO damn close it doesn't matter...the Yammy has some grunt tho...
Such clean playing😎
Killer groove, lovely playing. Both basses sound excellent.
Thanks!
@@hampuslundgren7300 I have a BB P 34, my challenge is to make it sound as good as your 5 string and create a cool groove. Thanks for the inspiration!
They’re both great. Smooth playing, by the way. You just got a thumbs up and a new subscriber. 👍🏻
Great groove! This is “Gidget” bassline, amazing Anderson Paak song…
Really appreciate your tasteful groove. Solid pocket.
They both sound great 🤩
I had a us fender jazz bass and i have a trbx 605 with the same neck of the bb 435, both are great basses, the fender is a bit heavy and i prefer the Yamaha's neck, the fender is magic, the Yamaha is very well made and easy to play, both sounds great. Nice video thanks 👍👏👏
I own both and it's a different tone from each, but both excellent. The BB is fatter and warmer where the Jazz is punchier with that classic mid scoop.
Very well-made video, Hampus. Appreciate you using decent lighting and proper audio equipment. Nice, clean playing as well. Gotta go with the Yamaha, but it's uncanny how close the PJ can be to the Jazz. Thing I found with mine is that you're never really gonna "scoop" out that PJ's midrange organically like you just automatically do with the Jazz configuration.
Yeah they are close but different, and eq can’t really make up for that difference.
wich is the main tone difference iyo?
@@hampuslundgren7300
I like them both! For recording, I would go with the Fender. For live playing, the Yamaha - SLIGHTLY over the Fender.
Sweet gidget!!!! FREE NATIONALS 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 BB sounds great
Great song!
Thanks bro 🙌 that comparison did it I’m getting the bbp34 it’ll only sound better as it gets older!
BB WIN
Yamaha!
Great comparison and great playing.
Thanks!
Great playing.!
Thanks!
Great sounds!
It seems like Plastic Love.
Thanks!
I have both jazz and numerous Yamaha's, I usually leave the house with a Yamaha.
BB
Great groove
Thanks
In this case... THE YAMAHA.
Thanks
The Yamaha have a good sound, but the Fender have a voice of its own.
Amazing! Do you have a top load or trough body strings position on your Yamaha?
I think top load. Through is better.
Nice playing! How is the neck on the Yammy? Similar to the Fender? Playability?
The BB basses have a sort of “medium” thick neck somewhere between a jazz and a P so very comfortable. This is a 5 however so obviously it’s a bit wider. Very playable.
@@hampuslundgren7300 Thanks for your response. I'm looking for a nice PJ and looking hard at the BB. I have a Jazz Elite 4 string which I love, just wanted to get a PJ setup to use some old school P bass tones.
Is it both pickups at 100% volume?
Yes!
@@hampuslundgren7300 and 100? Tone too? Also thank you for the reply! People keep talking about jazz basses having a countour but frankly that's a very fat and growly sounding jazz bass!
80% tone on both basses
@@hampuslundgren7300 thank you man! Great stuff!
Nice sound I would try this bass riff ... where can I Found it ?
I improvised it, but the chord changes are from a Free Nationals song called “gidget”.
What is this fender model? Groovy and both bass great old school tone. Weldone buddy
Fender American Special. Great for the price, but I got a Am. Pro. 2 now and it’s a little nicer imo.
Thank you . Wish you all the best
The Fender just sounded a little thinner than the Yamaha.
I closed my eyes and every now and then I would open expecting it to be X and it was Y
I can hear the small difference but I have played them both so much.
I heard those Yamaha necks are super thin?
Not really, slightly wider than a jazz.
Damn..
Fender sits nicer in the mix.
i was waiting for the slap
In another video…
No problem.
Call me!
굿
Great!
BB hands down better
С телефона, звучат одинаково
rosewood vs maple, bad comparisation. But nice playing
Yamaha is better !
There is Fender and everything else that wants to be a Fender.
Even Fender wants to be Fender cause without Leo it didnt get any better
Yep, and it looks like cheap Harley Bentons are sounding better than fenders...
@@zalle1 Dont be silly, only reason people like Harley Bentons is because they sound good in the bedroom. That is what they aim for as well so good for them but in a mix on stage or during recording a HB falls flat.
@@steveluth3139 I don't own a hately Benton, I actuality have a Yamaha and a fender... But watch this:

@@zalle1 Have you played a cheap HB bass? They are not great sounding basses ... look nice but they skipped a beat on the pups and electronics. I own one because I was curious about them. I also have 2 Fender jazz basses and 10 Yamaha's. Trust me when I say the HB's are not in the same league unless you spend more than the bass initially cost to fix the problems. My HB is a wall flower, pretty looking but thats about it.
4 against 5 string, that is no way to compare. Of course the 4 string Fender sounds better.
What's the point?
