Yamaha BB 735A Electric 5-String Bass Guitar, Translucent Matte Black Key Features
- Alder/Maple/Alder Body: The BB 735A features a sophisticated Alder/Maple/Alder body construction. This design utilizes a hard maple center, which enhances body stiffness and boosts midrange frequencies to cut through a band mix. The multi-laminated construction ensures uniform vibration transmission between the body and neck, providing unparalleled resonance and sustain.
- 6-Bolt Miter Neck Joint: The 6-bolt miter neck joint is a standout feature of the BB 735A, offering a tight and stable connection between the neck and body. This construction method improves the transfer of string vibrations, resulting in enhanced sustain and resonance. Compared to traditional bolt-on joints, miter bolting provides a more cohesive playing experience.
- YGD Custom V7 Pickups: Equipped with YGD Custom V7 pickups, this bass utilizes Alnico magnets to produce a fat yet penetrating tone. The pickups work in harmony with the Alder/Maple/Alder body construction to deliver a well-defined and organic sound that suits various playing styles.
- Active Circuit with ATC: The BB 735A features an active/passive circuit that allows for fine-tuning of your sound. With a specially tuned circuit for crisper tones and improved mids, you can switch between active and passive modes seamlessly. High-quality gold-plated parts ensure reliable conductivity, while a battery alert LED prevents sudden power loss during performances.
- Vintage Plus Bridge for Precision: The bass includes the Vintage Plus Bridge with Diagonal Body Thru Stringing. This design reduces string stress and improves vibration transfer to the body. The convertible saddle offers two different angles for precise tonal shaping, while the brass saddles deliver a deeper low-end and the steel baseplate adds brightness.
- Five-Piece Neck and New Neck Shape: The 5-ply maple and mahogany laminated neck provides a sharp attack and quick response, with enhanced durability and resistance to warping. The slightly thinner neck shape improves playability and comfort for both traditional and modern players.
- Lightweight Tuners and Hardware: The BB 735A features lightweight open-gear tuners that enhance balance and complement the instrument’s feel. The black nickel hardware and 3-ply black pickguard add a sleek, modern touch to the bass's overall aesthetic.
