And whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, you'll love the neck's thinner profile and the way the bass stays balanced thanks to its lightweight tuning machines. If you want a value-packed spin on the BB bass, the BB235 5-string is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe BB bass legacy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the first Yamaha BB basses rolled off the line in the late '70s, the bass world quickly took notice. A diverse array of high-caliber players took to these unique instruments, such as Van Halen's Michael Anthony, No Doubt's Tony Kanal, and legendary session ace Abraham Laboriel Sr. Their comfortably contoured bodies, clear-as-a-bell electronics, and immediately identifiable look keep these basses at the forefront of many different genres. The Yamaha BB235 is among the latest additions to this storied line of lauded instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamiliar construction with modern twists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat truly sets Yamaha's BB basses apart from other basses are their comfortable and familiar contours. Carefully crafted from balanced-sounding alder, the BB235 5-string boasts that same identifiable character. Its rounded edges and forearm and belly cuts seem to melt into your body while playing. The bass's maple bolt-on neck sings with a familiar punch and midrange that accompanies that construction style, while its slightly thinner profile is a welcome addition to more modern styles of players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible and easy-to-use electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you're a session player or a specialist, you know the benefits of a P\/J pickup combination. The pickups in this BB235 are Yamaha's Custom V3 ceramic single-coil design. Dial in more of the neck pickup for that all-important P-style growl. And nail punchy fingerstyle tones with the bridge pickup - a favorite for many bassists. The BB235's passive volume\/volume\/tone control layout couldn't be easier to dial in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraightforward version of a classic bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-string design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern appointments such as lightweight tuners for better balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder body offers a clear tone with plenty of punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Custom V3 ceramic P\/J pickup setup is versatile and intuitive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple bolt-on neck sings with clarity and sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple to use volume\/volume\/tone control layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinner neck profile for a more modern feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-\/Right-handed: Right-handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Yamaha BB Doublecut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Solid Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Red Raspberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Thinner BB profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 23.62\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlay: White Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21, Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.692\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Urea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge\/Tailpiece: Vintage Style Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Light weight, open gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: VSP3n Ceramic Split Single-coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: VSC3b Ceramic Single-coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 2 x volume, 1 x master tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: .045-.130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45061755764815,"sku":"BB235 RR","price":549.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/33997_yamaha_bb235rr_YAMAHA-BB235RR-ACCLAIM-DI3.jpg?v=1775244778","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/yamaha-bb235-5-string-electric-bass-guitar-red-raspberry","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
