Yamaha BB434M Bass Guitar - Black

The Yamaha BB434 brings together timeless BB character with modern refinements designed for today’s players. Its solid alder body, smooth-playing maple fingerboard, and resonant six-bolt miter neck joint create an instrument known for stability, musicality, and expressive versatility.

Refined Feel and Playability
A 5-piece maple and mahogany neck enhances sustain and responsiveness, while the satin finish provides a fast, comfortable feel. The maple fingerboard adds definition and brightness, giving the BB434 a lively tonal edge that cuts through any mix.

Dynamic and Versatile Sound
Custom-wound YGD V5 pickups with Alnico V magnets deliver clarity, warmth, and punch. Separate volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob offer simple yet powerful shaping options, letting you move easily from vintage grit to focused modern articulation.

Reliable Hardware and Build Quality
Lightweight open gear tuners improve balance, while the Vintage Plus Light bridge uses steel saddles and convertible stringing for enhanced sustain and tuning stability. Combined with the alder body and durable polyurethane finish, the BB434 is built for dependable performance on stage and in the studio.
