Yamaha BB 434M Electric Bass, Tobacco Brown Sunburst Key Features

• Classic BB Design – The legendary Yamaha “BroadBass” first made a big impression during the 1970s and 1980s, and continues to inspire to this day. These basses are renowned for their lightweight-yet-solid design, high levels of playability, and killer tone, and that is most certainly the case with this 400 Series model.
• Five-Piece Neck – The new series features a 5-ply maple and mahogany laminated neck, in a bolt-on design that delivers a sharp attack, and quick response. This durable construction resists warping and twisting and adds the tight, penetrating character of maple combined with the warmth of mahogany to the instrument’s tone.
• YGD Custom V5 Pickups – Alnico magnet pickups tuned to deliver the classic BB vintage tone, slightly updated to provide a brighter sound that cuts through in live performance situations. In addition to this, BB models are equipped with one tone control and two volume control knobs, for versatile sound shaping.
• Vintage Plus Light Bridge – For the 400-series models, Yamaha BB basses are equipped with a Vintage Plus Light bridge which features “Diagonal Body Thru Stringing”. This particular stringing method reduces string stress, whilst actively increasing string vibration transferrence, for more reliability and efficiency.
• Ideal For Aspiring Professionals – Whether you’re looking to invest in your first gig-ready bass, or you’re a seasoned professional looking for a reliable backup, the Yamaha BB434M could be just the thing for you. So order yours from PMT Online today!
