Alder/maple/alder 3-ply body construction
The new BB series has a 3-ply alder/maple/alder body construction. The hard maple sandwiched between the alder on both sides enriches the mid-range and makes the body sound more integrated into the band's sound. In addition, the use of maple for the body material enables direct sound transmission with the maple neck, reducing sound loss between the body and neck and ensuring that string vibrations are received.
Miter bolting for a tight fit of the neck
In addition to the four screws that fix the neck vertically from the back of the body, two screws are added to fix the neck end at a 45-degree angle from the back of the body to create a miter bolting system. The body and neck are tightly adhered to each other, creating an intense sound that unites the body and neck. The energy loss of string vibration is less than that of a normal bolt-on joint, resulting in rich sustain and overwhelming body sound.
Newly developed pickup YGD Custom V7
Newly developed original pickups are mounted. Equipped on the 700 grade and Pro grade.
Active Circuit
The new BB 700 grade has an active circuit and a passive circuit that can be switched at the touch of a switch. The active circuit is adjusted for the new BB with good grain. Furthermore, the treble knob of the 3-band equalizer is delicately designed so that no volume difference occurs when switching, even though it functions as a master tone control when using the passive circuit. Natural tone adjustment allows smooth, stress-free switching. High-quality gold-plated parts are used to prevent contact failure and deterioration of sound quality. Battery alert LED on the back panel warns when to change batteries by lighting a lamp to prevent sudden battery loss on stage.
