Meticulously crafted from a carefully tuned combination of alder and maple, the BB734A body boasts that same identifiable character. Its rounded edges and forearm and belly cuts fit you like a glove whether you’re rocking hard onstage or sitting in your studio overdubbing. The bass’s 5-piece maple and mahogany bolt-on neck sings with a new level of punch and sustain, thanks to its 6-bolt miter design. And its slightly thinner profile is a welcome addition for more modern styles of players.Powerful, versatile electronics Seasoned session players know the value of a P/J pickup combination. For the BB734A, Yamaha spec’d their latest custom Alnico V single-coil design. Positioned in the middle of the body, the VSP7n split-coil pickup is technically two single-coil pickups wired in series, so it bucks the hum while delivering the note definition and harmonic richness many humbucking bass pickups lack. It’s placed in an optimal position along the string length to capture and deliver girthy low end. The VSC7b single-coil stationed at the bridge serves up aggressive midrange growl that helps you cut through thick arrangements. Dial in your perfect blend using the pickup balance control, and you’re ready to rock. Finally, the BB734A is fitted with an active/passive switch that effectively offers a choice between modern and vintage sonic characters while also being a lifesaver if you find yourself without a battery.Yamaha BB734A Features: Modern incarnation of a classic bass guitar with active electronics 3-piece alder/maple/alder body offers a clear tone with plenty of punch 5-piece maple and mahogany bolt-on neck with thin profile for a more modern feel Solid 6-bolt miter neck joint promotes clarity and sustain Smooth rosewood fingerboard and Graph Tech nut Neck pickup: VSP7n split single-coil Alnico V Bridge pickup: VSC7b single-coil Alnico V Active preamp with 3-band EQ will nail any tone you need Active/passive, master volume, and pickup balance controls Convertible Vintage Plus bridge with brass saddles Lightweight open-gear tuners for optimal balance SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 5 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape BB735A Doublecut Body Material Alder, Maple Color Fired Red Neck Material 5-piece Maple/Mahogany Neck Joint 6-way Bolt-on Fingerboard Material Rosewood Number of Frets 21 Nut Material GraphTech Bridge/Tailpiece Vintage Plus Tuners Open-gear Neck Pickup Yamaha VSP7n Anlico V Split-coil Bridge Pickup Yamaha VSC7b Anlico V Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 1 x balance, 3-band EQ Switching 1 x active/passive switch Strings D'Addario EXL170-5, .045-.130 Case/Gig Bag Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
