If you want a value-packed spin on the BB bass, the BB234 4-string is for you.The BB bass legacy When the first Yamaha BB basses rolled off the line in the late '70s, the bass world quickly took notice. A diverse array of high-caliber players took to these unique instruments, such as Van Halen's Michael Anthony, No Doubt's Tony Kanal, and legendary session ace Abraham Laboriel Sr. Their comfortably contoured bodies, clear-as-a-bell electronics, and immediately identifiable look keep these basses at the forefront of many different genres. The Yamaha BB234 is among the latest additions to this storied line of lauded instruments.Familiar construction with modern twists What truly sets Yamaha's BB basses apart from other 4-stringers are their comfortable and familiar contours. Carefully crafted from balanced-sounding alder, the BB234 boasts that same identifiable character. Its rounded edges and forearm and belly cuts seem to melt into your body while playing. The bass's maple bolt-on neck sings with a familiar punch and midrange that accompanies that construction style, while its slightly thinner profile is a welcome addition to more modern styles of players.Flexible and easy-to-use electronics Whether you're a session player or a specialist, you know the benefits of a P/J pickup combination. The pickups in this BB234 are Yamaha's Custom V3 ceramic single-coil design. Dial in more of the neck pickup for that all-important P-style growl. And nail punchy fingerstyle tones with the bridge pickup — a favorite for many Sweetwater bassists. The BB234's passive volume/volume/tone control layout couldn't be easier to dial in.Yamaha BB234 Bass Guitar Features: Straightforward version of a classic bass Modern appointments such as lightweight tuners for better balance Alder body offers a clear tone with plenty of punch Passive Custom V3 ceramic P/J pickup setup is versatile and intuitive Maple bolt-on neck sings with clarity and sustain Simple to use volume/volume/tone control layout Thinner neck profile for a more modern feel SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 4 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Yamaha BB Doublecut Body Material Solid Alder Body Finish Gloss Polyurethane Color Vintage White Neck Material Maple Neck Shape Thinner BB profile Radius 10" Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 21, Medium Scale Length 34" Nut Width 1.575" Nut Material Urea Bridge/Tailpiece Vintage style bridge, 19mm string spacing Tuners Light weight, open gear Neck Pickup VSP3n Ceramic Split Single-coil Bridge Pickup VSC3b Ceramic Single-coil Controls 2 x volume, 1 x master tone Strings .045-.105 Case Included Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
