Elaborate construction for first-class sound and playing comfort

The Yamaha BB735A's body features a sandwich construction, with a maple center layer nestled between an alder back and top - delivering a punchy, assertive midrange and dynamic tonal response. This lively sound is further enhanced by Yamaha's precision-engineered "miter" neck joint, which uses two diagonally mounted screws to pull the maple-mahogany neck thightly into the body, while four straight screws ensure maximum stability. With its sleek contours, the neck fits perfectly in the hand, offering effortless access to the rosewood fretboard and making it a joy to lay down grooves with comfort and confidence.

Alnico pickups and active electronics

The Yamaha BB735A proves itself as a true all-rounder when plugged in, laying down the perfect groove foundation across virtually any musical style. Its two classic-style Alnico V pickups - a Yamaha VSP7n split coil in the middle position and a Yamaha VSC7b single coil on the bridge - deliver rich, vintage inspiried tones full of vibrant dynamics and endless sustain. The 5-string is also equipped with finely tuned, musical 3-band active electronics, offering precise control over bass, mids and treble for effortless tone shaping. And for players who prefer a more organic feel, the EQ can be bypassed at the flick of a mini switch, unleashing the BB735A's pure passive voice.
