Built To Perform
This 5-stringed equivalent of the popular BB-234 has been crafted with a comfortably-shaped Solid Alder body, that's been given a stylish Raspberry Red finish.
Fitted with a satin-finished maple neck, this with an improved, thinner shaping over previous BB designs, this bass delivers an improved overall feel that better suits modern and traditional players alike.
Versatile Voice
Kitted out with a smooth pair of YGD (Yamaha Guitar Development) V3 Ceramic Pickups, you can expect clarity, detail and precision in every note you play.
Well-balanced for a versatile tone, this bass shines on anything from classic funk and soul, to punchy modern pop, to bluesy riffs - all easy controlled by the intuitive sound-shaping controls on the body.
Top-Notch Hardware
Fitted with lighter weight tuners, you'll reap the benefits of having a more natural-feeling bass that doesn't weigh you down.
Despite this, these tuners maintain that excellent tonal stability of the impressive BB Series of Professional bass guitars.
