Anyone know how close Yamaha bass slide dimensions are between the newer 835 model and the older 611/612 models? Anyone have both and can do a quick comparison between length/width?
Thanks

Early 611s and 612s have narrow slides, modern Yamaha is all Bach wide.

421G and 620G use narrow slide as well.

I think if you like the old-school Yamahas, you might like the 620G as well (especially the JDM spec). Totally different from the Xenos.

Yes, I've played one. Neat I guess but dependent and still pretty boring.
