Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, you’ll appreciate the slimmer neck profile and the excellent balance provided by the lightweight tuning machines. The BB234 4-string is a value-packed rendition of the classic BB bass, and it’s available at Irvine Art and Music.
A Rich Legacy of BB Basses
Since the late ’70s, Yamaha BB basses have garnered attention from musicians across various genres. Renowned players like Michael Anthony of Van Halen, Tony Kanal of No Doubt, and session maestro Abraham Laboriel Sr. have all embraced these unique instruments. With their comfortably contoured bodies, crystal-clear electronics, and instantly recognizable aesthetics, Yamaha BB basses continue to shape the sound of modern music. The BB234 proudly carries forward this storied tradition.
Timeless Construction with Contemporary Enhancements
The Yamaha BB234 stands out for its familiar and ergonomic design. Crafted from sonically balanced alder, it maintains the signature character of its predecessors. The rounded edges, along with forearm and belly contours, seamlessly integrate with your playing experience. The maple bolt-on neck delivers a punchy midrange characteristic of this construction style, and its slightly slimmer profile caters to the preferences of modern players.
Versatile and User-Friendly Electronics
Whether you’re a studio session artist or a genre specialist, the P/J pickup combination is a tried-and-true choice. The BB234 features Yamaha’s Custom V3 ceramic single-coil pickups, offering the best of both worlds. Dial in more of the neck pickup for that essential P-style growl, or opt for the bridge pickup to achieve punchy fingerstyle tones—a favorite among many bassists. The straightforward passive volume/volume/tone control layout ensures effortless tonal adjustments.
