I got to play one of the original series Nathan East basses. My favorite 5 stringer I've ever played. The resonance of the bass even before plugging it in is phenomenal and with the right set up they play and feel so perfect!

I was thinking of buying the Fender American elite jazz bass because of the look of it and the passive and active system in it I’ve heard Yamaha has good basses as well and I saw my favorite bass player have it and I was blown away by everything it could do. So I was thinking.. hmm maybe saving up a little more would’ve worth this bass so thank you for the video! Now I am looking forward on buying this bass! God bless you

Thanks for this review, it shows me what the knobs do, i've been guessing

[carlholten]

i play a white one, Its pretty epic for cream, , Michael Jackson, pink floyd... I put it through an Aguilar Amp head and an Ashdown 4x10

Hi, i love your work with Bassmusicianmagazine a lot. Thank you for that very much. But, please, wouldn´t it be a great idea to make Instrumentreviews with a player who can actual play?

[RamaNatan]

I have the white one, the best 5 ever! Yamaha should sell the 6 NE for public 😁

[cesarchavezalvarado]

I can obviously hear that this sounds great. The black color looks amazing. However I'm concerned about the gloss finish, does it scratch easy or is it finger print magnet compared to the white one?

[hodaridaniels]

It seems like a nice bass, beautiful black finish.

[DanielReyesbass]

Between this and the American Elite Jazz Bass V from Fender? Which one???

[cristianmedico]

Good aesthetic review, but please, with the distorted sound is useless, make sure the sound is good and not distorted.

Frankly, and based of course, only on this demo, I am not very impressed. Especially as compared to the known sound I have been getting from my 1985 BB2000 for years.

[aarondavis]

I just couldnt justify the 2500$, in my opinion, I'd rather have an Ibanez SR, seem like very similar basses

I stopped watching when he called the single coils humbuckers.
