Yamaha BB435 5-String Bass | Everything You Need To Know

The latest in Yamaha&storied BB series of bass guitars delivers the superb sound and build quality that this series is known for in a smaller body with even better playability. Featuring custom-wound pickups that achieve higher output gain while retaining the 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&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.
