The Yamaha BB 435 5-String Bass Guitar offers an incredible range of tones, offering booming soundscapes without the need to de-tune thanks to the fifth string. The combination of alder, a maple, mahogany, and rosewood works together to deliver a versatile tone that can perfectly accommodate a wide variety of genres. Crafted into a thin neck profile, the BB 435’s neck provides a smooth performance, while its 6-bolt miter joint tightly secures the neck to the body to improve the transfer of vibration from the strings to the body.
The addition of its vintage plus light bridge, designed with a unique ‘diagonal through body stringing’, offers less stress on the strings to improve sustain and resonance. Equipped with a set of custom V5 pickups to deliver classic BB tones, the Yamaha BB 435 Bass is the perfect way for players to fully express their creativity.
