Full Description
View Full DescriptionA body built for excellence
The BB 735A’s body has been constructed from a unique blend of maple and alder, which increases its overall stiffness for an accentuated midrange to cut through dense mixes. Its maple centre adds a more uniform transmission of vibrations between the body and neck than traditional 1-piece bodies, delivering an unparalleled resonance and sustain. The alder top and bottom provide the bass with a lusciously smooth, deep tone, beefing up the midrange while adding a slight sizzle to the high end.
