: : Mark, last June I bought a Yamaha BBN5 II. I love it. The pickups have such a natural growl to them. I really don't know what the difference is between the BBG5 and N5 series because they look pretty much the same. I agree with you about it playing like a more expensive one. That price you paid is crazy, man. Every once in a while M/F has these little publicized sales, and when they do you can really clean up. If anyone is looking for a good, not too expensive 5er, go to the thread Mark posted and check it out. They're great for the money. Can't beat it with a stick.
: : Good luck with it, Mark

: I think the BBn5 is passive, isn't it? The BBg5s is active. That's the only difference I know of.
: Mark
I think you're right. Enjoy that bass.
