The Yamaha BB435 Black is a five-string bass guitar featuring an alder body, a maple/mahogany neck, a maple fingerboard, YGD Custom V5 pickups, and a black finish. The BB435 provides bass players with a great build quality and signature sound, to inspire you to always play to the best of your potential.

Built with a solid alder body, this bass guitar is powered by split-coil and single-coil YGD Custom V5 pickups in the neck and bridge positions respectively. This set-up, with Alnico V magnets, is tuned to deliver classic BB vintage tone, updated for a brighter sound that cuts through live performance mixes. Customise your output through a tone control and two volume control knobs.

A thin five-ply maple/mahogany neck improves playability and provides a versatile feel for modern and traditional players. A bolt-on construction provides a sharp attack and quick response, as well as durability. Lightweight tuning machines offer balance, complementing the overall feel of this guitar, thereby providing an ideal match for its small, light body.

A Vintage Plus Light bridge incorporates "Diagonal Body Thru Stringing", where the strings are angled at the saddle and pass through the instrument to the bridge at a 45º angle. This significantly reduces stress whilst transferring string vibration to the body reliably and efficiently.
