Versatile tones This model comes equipped with a set of powerful custom V5 pickups. This configuration is perfect for players who enjoy playing a wide range of musical styles as it offers the best of split and bar pickup tones. The custom V5 pickups deliver the vintage BB sound providing you with a classic well-balanced tone and an excellent articulation. They have been slightly updated to produce a brighter sound allowing the bass to cut through the mix during performances. A single tone control and two volume controls provide versatile tone shaping allowing players to dial in the perfect sound for their playing. Sculpted for perfection The BB 434’s body has been crafted from lightweight alder producing a smooth and deep bass tone with a beefy midrange and a slightly sizzling high end. Its strong full-bodied sound works well when paired with the brightness of the maple adding plenty of depth and dynamics to the overall tone. The neck is designed with an incredibly thin profile improving its playability and feel to suit modern and traditional players. Coupled with a rosewood fingerboard the three woods provide the bass with a complex high end and a smooth playing experience. The Yamaha’s neck is attached to the body with a 6-bolt miter neck joint offering a more efficient transfer of string vibration through the body than conventional bolt-on joints. This joint holds the neck closer to the body to provide a tighter hold and improving sustain and resonance allowing the bass to bring life to every note. Stability with every strum The bass’ bridge enhances the overall sustain and resonance of the strings by offering a unique ‘diagonal body through stringing’. This is achieved by angling the strings at the saddle to pass through the body at a 45-degree angle placing less stress on the strings as opposed to the more traditional vertical stringing. This method allows the bridge to transfer the string vibrations to the body reliably and efficiently. It also allows the strings to be attached to the tail end.
