Inheriting the BB's identity, this high-cost-performance entry-level model features new original pickups!

With the modern music scene in mind, the Yamaha BB bass has been boldly redesigned with the concept of being the "ultimate bolt-on passive." This is the BB235 model, a 5-string variation model for entry-level players that achieves high cost performance through overseas manufacturing!

This guitar inherits the wood materials of the higher-end BB models, featuring an alder body, a one-piece maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. The headstock finish is also matte black, following the variations on the model, and it features ceramic magnet PJ pickups and a simple single-ply pickguard. The pickup covers use a general-purpose design, allowing for customization. The control section features a 2-volume/1-tone configuration, allowing for fine-tuning of the balance between each pickup.
While this model does not feature the 6-bolt miter neck joint mechanism or miter stringing bridge found in other higher-end models, we have significantly reduced the price by simplifying the parts, assembly, and design structure, making it more accessible than ever for those just starting out on bass.

This Yamaha BB model boasts a powerful sound and meticulous craftsmanship that is characteristic of the brand, making it a model that fully embodies Yamaha's commitment to instrument making, far exceeding expectations for an entry-level instrument! It's a highly cost-effective model recommended not only for entry-level players but also for those who are just starting out with a 5-string bass! Its quality is undeniable!
