{"product_id":"03-1r9l5o2ar-319e","title":"[SN IMX319E] YAMAHA \/ BBP34 Moonlight Blue [03]","description":"Yamaha's flagship electric bass model in the BB series, the \"BBP,\" has undergone a minor model update!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n・3-ply alder\/maple\/alder body construction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe new BB Series features a 3-ply alder\/maple\/alder body construction. The hard maple sandwiched between the alder layers on both sides enriches the midrange and produces a resonant tone that blends seamlessly into the band’s sound. Furthermore, the use of maple for the body allows for direct sound transmission from the maple neck, reducing sound loss between the body and neck and ensuring that string vibrations are reliably transmitted.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n・I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nI.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) is a technology that applies appropriate vibration to a finished instrument to reduce the stress inherent in the finish, adhesives, and other materials immediately after completion, thereby promoting the instrument’s natural vibration. As players, you are no doubt aware of how important it is to “break in” an instrument.It is said that playing in a new instrument “improves its tone.” The reason for this is that the stresses occurring between the wood—such as between the neck and the fingerboard, between the wood and the finish, and between the wood and the hardware—are resolved through playing, allowing the parts to settle and resonate as a unified whole. By applying the I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) treatment, the bass is brought closer to a “played-in” state, bringing out its ideal body resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n・Newly Developed Pickups\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe new BB series features pickups newly and exclusively developed to match each model. While preserving the traditional BB sound, these pickups improve output gain in the mid-to-high frequency range, delivering a clear sound with well-defined contours. The pickups, tailored to each model’s unique character, enable the creative and versatile expression that players demand.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n・Convertible-Type Bridge \u0026amp; Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe “strings-through-body” construction is adopted, where the strings pass through the back of the body. Compared to the conventional method of routing strings vertically from the back of the body, routing them at a 45-degree angle transmits the energy of string vibration to the body with minimal loss.In the conventional “strings-through-body” method, where strings pass directly beneath the saddle, significant vibration loss occurs at the plate and saddle, making it difficult to transmit string vibration efficiently and reliably. However, by cutting the bottom of the body at an angle and routing the strings at a 45-degree angle, stress on the strings at the saddle is reduced.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe BB Pro series features a Vintage Plus bridge, delivering a sharp and clear sound.The Vintage Plus Bridge’s brass saddle produces deep bass tones, while the steel plate delivers a bright sound. Metal parts such as springs and screws are made of stainless steel to ensure resistance to rust and corrosion. Furthermore, the varying contact points of the semicircular saddle accommodate a wide range of the player’s expressive needs, from crisp, clear tones to warm, rich sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As part of a minor model update in 2023, the hardware was changed from matte to glossy (chrome finish), and two new color options—VW (Vintage White) and MLB (Moonlight Blue)—were added.\u003cbr\u003e \nS\/N: IMX319E\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.10 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nJAN Code: 4957812689571\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBody\/Neck Construction: Mitre Bolting\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 863.6 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard Radius: 250R\u003cbr\u003e \nNumber of Frets\/Size: 21\u003cbr\u003e \nBody: 3-ply alder\/maple\/alder\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck: 5-piece maple\/mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge: Vintage Plus (steel plate\/brass saddles)\u003cbr\u003e \nString Spacing: 19 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nPickups: YGD V7 P\/J (Alnico V)\u003cbr\u003e \nControls: Front pickup volume, rear pickup volume, master tone\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings: D'Addario EXL170\u003cbr\u003e \nNut Material\/Width: GraphTech \/ 4-string | 40mm\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Hard case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* This is a one-of-a-kind item that is listed simultaneously on multiple online marketplaces, including our in-store display.
