A bass that continues to evolve while carrying on the tradition. Yamaha BB.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Inheriting Tradition\u003cbr\u003e We have been constantly improving our basses to provide bassists with more than they could ever hope for, and the BB series has continued to evolve as a bass that caters to players who are in pursuit of their own personal sound.\u003cbr\u003e The new BB series continues the tradition of the BB, but continues to be a bass that will give you the sound and expression you are looking for in any situation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Alder\/Maple\/Alder 3-Ply Body Construction\u003cbr\u003e 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 in tune with the band's sound.\u003cbr\u003e The use of maple for the body material also enables direct sound transmission with the maple neck, reducing sound loss between the body and neck and ensuring that the strings receive the vibrations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration)\u003cbr\u003e I.R.A. (InitialresponseAcceleration) is a technology that accelerates the vibration of an instrument by applying appropriate vibration to the instrument after completion, thereby reducing the stress of paint, glue, etc. inherent in the instrument immediately after completion.\u003cbr\u003e Players know how important it is to \"play in\" an instrument. It is said that playing an instrument \"makes it sound better\".\u003cbr\u003e The reason for this is that the stresses that occur between the neck and fingerboard, between the wood and the paint film, and between the wood and the hardware, etc., become more comfortable and resonate as one when the instrument is played.\u003cbr\u003e By applying I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) treatment, the bass becomes close to the state where it has been played in, bringing out the ideal body sound.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Miter bolting system\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e The body and neck are tightly adhered to each other, creating an intense sound that unites the body and neck. This method produces less energy loss from string vibrations than a normal bolt-on joint, resulting in rich sustain and overwhelming body resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Newly developed pickups\u003cbr\u003e The new BBs are equipped with pickups developed uniquely for each model, which inherit the traditional BB sound, but with improved output gain in the mid and upper registers.\u003cbr\u003e The new BB has a clear sound with a clear and distinct contour. The pickups are suited to the unique character of each model, allowing for the creative and versatile expression demanded by the player.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Convertible bridge and saddleThis model features a \"string-through-body\" construction that allows the strings to pass through from the backside of the body.\u003cbr\u003e Compared to the conventional method of passing strings vertically through the back of the body, the strings are passed through at a 45-degree angle, which transmits the energy of the string vibration to the body without any loss.\u003cbr\u003e In the general back-through method, where the strings are passed through from directly under the saddle, there is a large amount of vibration loss at the plate and saddle, making it difficult to transmit string vibrations efficiently and reliably.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The BBPro series is equipped with a Vintage Plus bridge for sharp and clear sound.\u003cbr\u003e The brass saddles of the Vintage Plus bridge provide deep bass, while the steel plates provide a bright sound.\u003cbr\u003e Metal parts such as springs and screws are made of stainless steel for resistance to rust and corrosion.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the different contact points of the semi-circular saddles respond to the player's various expressions, from crisp and clear sound to warmer sound.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e * The hardware was changed from matte to glossy (chrome specification) with a minor model change in 2023, and two colors, VW (Vintage White) and MLB (Moonlight Blue), were added as color variations.\u003cbr\u003e JAN：4957812689557\u003cbr\u003e S\/N: ILZ212E\u003cbr\u003e Weight: 4.22kg","brand":"YAMAHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48771498541308,"sku":"08-1r9l5o2ad-212E","price":236900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202602156925350.jpg?v=1771214666","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/products\/08-1r9l5o2ad-212e","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
