YAMAHA / BB734A Matte Translucent Black (MTBL) [10]

For 40 years, the Yamaha BB Series has been highly acclaimed by many bassists for its constant pursuit of the sounds and features required by the music scene of the day. The new BB series has dramatically improved the sound of the body, achieving a sound that is both powerful and clearly contoured. The Yamaha BB is a bass that continues to evolve while continuing to carry on the tradition. Yamaha BB.
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. 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 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 pickups. Equipped on the 700 grade and Pro grade.
Convertible bridge and saddle
The 700 and Pro grades feature a "string-through-body" construction that allows the strings to pass through from the backside of the body. 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 vibrations to the body without loss. In the general method of passing strings through the back of the body from directly under the saddle, there is a large loss of string vibration at the plate and saddle, making it difficult to transmit string vibrations efficiently and reliably. The different contact points of the semi-circular saddle allow for a variety of player expression, from crisp and clear sounds to warmer tones. The brass saddles of the Vintage Plus bridge provide a deep bass sound, while the steel plates provide a bright sound. Metal parts such as springs and screws are made of stainless steel for resistance to rust and corrosion.
* Long scale strings are recommended when stringing from the front side to the bridge, and super long scale strings are recommended when stringing from the back side of the body.
