Yamaha BB434 RW Tabacco Brown Sunburst

Electric bass guitar with solid alder body that continues the legacy of superb sound and playability of the renowned BB series. It features a 5-ply maple and mahogany laminated neck, in a bolt-on design that 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. Miter bolting 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. The neck is also slightly thinner than on previous BB basses, improving playability and feel for both modern and traditional players. The instrument is equipped with YGD Custom V5 pickups with Alnico V magnets that are tuned to deliver the classic BB vintage tone, slightly updated to provide a brighter sound that cuts through in live performance situations. Sound can be adjusted by one tone control and two volume control knobs. The bass guitar is also equipped with a Vintage Plus Light bridge that incorporates "Diagonal Body Thru Stringing," in which the strings are angled at the saddle and pass through the instrument to the bridge at a 45º angle, as opposed to the traditional vertical stringing method which places more stress on the strings. Diagonal Body Thru Stringing significantly reduces this stress while transferring string vibration to the body reliably and efficiently. The strings can also be attached to the tail end of the bridge. Lighter weight tuners further offer a better balance and complement the overall feel, providing a perfect match for the smaller, lighter body of the bass. Tobacco Brown Sunburst colour design.
