Alder/Maple/Alder 3-ply body construction
The new BB series features an alder/maple/alder 3-ply body construction. The hard maple sandwiched between alder sides enriches the midrange and achieves a body resonance that blends seamlessly into the band's sound. Furthermore, using maple for the body allows direct sound transmission with the maple neck, reducing sound loss between body and neck and reliably capturing string vibrations.
Newly Developed Pickup: YGD Custom V7
Features a newly developed proprietary pickup. Combined with the alder/maple/alder body construction, it delivers a clear, projecting sound that cuts through the band mix. Equipped on the 700 Grade and Pro Grade models.
Active Circuit
The new BB 700 Grade allows switching between active and passive circuits for sound shaping with a single switch. The active circuit is tuned specifically for the new BB's crisp articulation. Furthermore, the treble knob on the 3-band equalizer functions as the master tone control when using the passive circuit, yet features a delicate design that prevents volume differences during switching.This enables smooth, stress-free switching with natural tone adjustments. High-quality gold-plated parts are used to minimize contact issues and sound degradation. The battery alert LED on the back panel warns of low battery via a lit lamp, preventing sudden battery failure on stage.
Controller Section
The new BB700 grade features a 3-band active equalizer, an active/passive circuit switch for flexible tone shaping to meet player demands, and a pickup balancer.
