A sound to suit all occasions

Yamaha have fitted this bass with a set of powerful V3 pickups, divided into a split single coil at the neck and a bar single coil at the bridge. This configuration is perfect for musicians who enjoy playing a range of musical styles, while the ceramic magnets ensure the bass delivers a clear, well-defined sound. The custom V3 pickups offer a beautiful, full-bodied tonality with an excellent articulation that adds to the playing dynamics. A single tone control and two volume controls provide versatile tone shaping, allowing players to dial in the perfect sound for their playing.

Expertly crafted with hand-picked materials

With a body crafted from lightweight alder, you’re guaranteed to find a smooth, deep bass tone alongside a beefy midrange. It’s strong, full-bodied voice works well when paired with the brightness of a maple neck, adding plenty of depth and dynamics to the overall tone. On the other side of the neck is a rosewood fingerboard which adds complexity to the high end and provides a smooth playing experience. The neck also features an incredibly thin profile, improving its playability further to suit both modern and traditional playing styles.

Yamaha have finished this bass guitar with a range of industry standard components. A set of lightweight tuners provide a more balance to the guitar than would be found with standard tuners, complementing the overall feel to the bass while it open-gear design adds to the Yamaha aesthetics. A 4-bolt plate holds the neck to the body, providing extra cut to the overall tone, while the urea nut helps improve string stability. The vintage style bridge also adds to the classically inspired visual aesthetic of the BB 234.
