Yamaha BB435 5-String Bass Guitar

The latest in Yamaha's BB series of bass guitars delivers a superb sound and build quality that this series is known for in a smaller body with better playability. Featuring custom wound pickups that achieve higher output gain while retaining classic BB voicing, the new lineup of BB basses are a testament to Yamaha’s commitment to musical excellence. The BB435 Bass features a contoured solid alder body with classic original 1977 BroadBass styling. The bolt on 34” scale 5 ply maple and mahogany laminated neck delivers a sharp attack, and quick response. This durable construction resists warping and twisting and adds the tight, penetrating character of maple combined with the warmth of mahogany to the instrument’s tone. Yamaha's 6 Bolt Miter Neck Joint holds the neck closer and tighter to the body fusing these two separate components into one. Compared to a conventional bolt on joint, miter bolting offers more efficient transfer of string vibration throughout the body, for improved sustain and outstanding resonance that brings every note to life.
