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 the string vibration is received.
Newly developed pickup YGD Custom V7
YGD Custom V7 pickups are newly developed by YGD. 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 failures 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 failure on stage.
Controller section
In addition to a 3-band active equalizer, the new BB700 grade is equipped with an active/passive circuit switching switch and pickup balancer to flexibly respond to the sound creation required by the player.
