YAMAHA BB734A DARK COFFEE SUNBURST Bass Guitar

What truly sets Yamaha's BB basses apart from other basses are their comfortable and familiar contours. Carefully crafted from a carefully tuned combination of alder and maple, the BB734A 4-string's body boasts that same identifiable character. Its rounded edges and forearm and belly cuts seem to melt into your body while performing. The bass's 5-piece maple and mahogany bolt-on neck sings with a new level of punch and sustain, thanks for its 6-bolt miter design. And its slightly thinner profile is a welcome addition for more modern styles of players. Whether you're a session player or a specialist, you know the benefits of a P/J pickup combination. The pickups in this BB734A are Yamaha's present-sounding YGD Custom V7 Alnico V single-coil design. Use the bass's active 3-band EQ and blend to dial in more of the neck pickup for that all-important P-style growl. And nail punchy fingerstyle tones with the bridge pickup — a favorite for many Sweetwater bassists. The BB734A's active/passive switch offers two different characters while also being a lifesaver if you find yourself without a battery.
