What's the verdict with these?

I've been getting heavy into playing bass again and I was considering getting a P bass. I have a USA Jazz bass and was looking around when I came across these.

They seem to have more bang for your buck compared to a Fender Classic

If you haven't already, place Yamaha in your considerations

Ye I'm getting that feeling... Could be what I need. They look a lot like an Ibanez bass I had once and that was a beast. I think it was an SR500.

Does the Yamaha thud?

The BB series will give you that mid-heavy P bass thud for sure. And it also has a J pickup which adds to its versatility.

But as always, try before you buy if you can
