With an eye on the modern music scene, the Yamaha BB bass has been boldly revamped under the concept of "the ultimate bolt-on passive." This is the BB735, a revamped variation model that faithfully inherits the basic specifications of the top-of-the-line BBP model as much as possible, and further adopts an active specification for the first time in a long time for the BB model, which is predominantly passive. It achieves high cost performance through overseas manufacturing!

This guitar inherits the wood materials and laminate construction of the higher-end BB models, featuring a three-layer laminate body of alder/maple/alder, a five-piece laminate neck combining maple and mahogany for a slim grip shape, and a rosewood fingerboard. The body, neck, and headstock are finished in matte black, and the various parts are finished in black nickel. It features high-grade Alnico 5 magnet PJ pickups and a black 3-ply pickguard. The pickup covers use a general-purpose design and can be customized to your liking.
This active bass features a control section with volume, pickup balancer, and 3-band EQ, and a switch allows you to switch between active and passive modes, enabling you to choose the sound that suits the situation. Additionally, a battery alert LED is located on the back, allowing you to easily see when it's time to change the battery.

This model features a 6-bolt miter joint, adopted from higher-end models, which creates a stronger bond by driving the bolts at a 45-degree angle toward the neck, resulting in a powerful resonance where the neck and body are one unit. It also has a miter stringing bridge, which reduces string stress while firmly transmitting string vibrations to the body by passing the strings through the back of the body at a 45-degree angle from the bridge saddle. This makes it a high-cost-performance model that inherits the resonance and design structure of the instrument.

While inheriting the characteristic passive bass sound of Yamaha BB basses, the inclusion of an active circuit provides a tighter tone, allowing for impactful sound shaping across all ranges. The excellent sound response and well-balanced intonation of each string are qualities unique to active basses, and the low B string reproduction is also very high, resulting in a finish that is easy to control. This hybrid, high-cost-performance model fully demonstrates Yamaha's commitment to instrument making, with meticulous craftsmanship that we want a wide range of players to pick up! It is a recommended model for those considering their first active bass or switching to a 5-string bass!
