Yamaha BB1024/5 owners, share with me your wisdom.

Long story short: Went to one of the local music stores to buy a book and fell in love with the BB1025 on the wall.

I didn't plug it in, didn't have enough time. However it was verry comfortable to play. I'll be going down to the store for a closer look.

Share with me your personal experience.
How's the quality, constant or varries from model to model?
Is neckdive a problem?
Has anyone tried this thing with flatwounds?
Any problems you want to bring out?
What hardcases fit the bodyshape?

I have plenty of time, will wait till I can sell my GT-10B and possibly my RBX270

Feel free to compare these to other passive P/J basses

Changed the title to get some more people in this topic.
I don't discriminate between 4 and 5 string models, however, for me the Yamaha was the first 5 string bass that felt comfortable to play.

I am GASsing over Yamaha BB's at the moment, would love to hear some input. There's a fair amount here and on BassChat as well.
