Manufacturer's Description

Yamaha BB 235 5-String Bass Guitar, Vintage White offers a greater tonal range than its 4-string counterpart, with the extra 5th string allowing players to create incredibly deep, booming sounds without the need to de-tune. Its alder body provides a well-balanced sound, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide an incredibly smooth playing feel. A set of Yamaha?s custom V3 pickups provide incredible versatility, offering a wide range of dynamics which can be tailed via the tone and volume controls.

The Yamaha BB 235 Bass Guitar is also equipped with lightweight tuners, a vintage style bridge, and a urea nut to enhance string stability and resonance. The Yamaha BB 235 is equipped with a set of powerful custom V3 pickups, with a split single-coil at the neck and a bar single-coil at the bridge. This configuration is perfect for players who enjoy playing a wide range of musical styles, while the ceramic magnets ensure the bass delivers a clear, well-defined sound. The custom V3 pickups offer a beautiful, full-bodied tonality, with an excellent articulation that adds to playing dynamics. A single tone control and 2 volume controls provide versatile tone shaping, allowing players to dial in the perfect sound for their playing.

High-Quality Hardware

Yamaha’s BB Bass Guitar is finished with a range of high-quality appointments, delivering excellent sound, feel, and playability. A set of lightweight tuners provide better balance than standard tuners, complementing the overall feel of the bass while its open-gear design adds to the Yamaha’s aesthetics. A 4-bolt plate holds the neck to the body, providing extra cut to the overall tone, while the urea nut helps improve string stability. The vintage style bridge also adds to the stunning look of the BB 235, providing the bass with its classic look.
