The Yamaha BB735A BB-Series 5-String Bass Guitar continues the BB Series tradition with an alder/maple/alder body construction, a 5-piece maple and mahogany neck, and Yamaha's 6-bolt miter neck joint. The miter joint creates a tight connection between the neck and body to support efficient vibration transfer, resonance, and sustain. YGD Custom V7 Alnico V pickups deliver the characteristic BB Series tone, while the active/passive circuit and 3-band EQ provide flexible control over the bass, middle, and treble frequencies. A Vintage Plus bridge with convertible stringing and brass saddles supports flexible setup options, while lightweight open-gear tuners contribute to a balanced playing feel. The 5-string configuration adds an extended low-end range.
