Designed for beginners but playable enough to satisfy professional musicians, the Yamaha BB Series BB-235 is a five-string electric bass with a sleek, double-cutaway alder body and a yellow natural satin finish. Its bolt-on maple neck sports a 34" scale, a 600mm radius, 21 frets, and a fingerboard fashioned out of rosewood. Strings are secured to the body with a vintage-style fixed bridge and attached to the headstock by means of lightweight open-gear tuners.
For electronics, this bass offers two Custom V3 pickups. A split single coil P-style pickup can be found in the neck, while a single coil J-style pickup sits in the bridge. These provide a clean with plenty of articulation.
A volume knob for each pickup is on hand and the usage of which can help you blend the timbre of the neck and the bridge pickups. An overall tone control can help you make your overall sound brighter or darker in accordance with your own personal taste.
