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 BB734A is among the latest additions to this storied line of lauded instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 6-bolt miter joint, finish may vary.\u003c\/em\u003e\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.

Its rounded edges and forearm and belly cuts seem to melt into your body while performing. The bass's 5-piece maple and mahogany bolt-on neck sings with a new level of punch and sustain, thanks for its 6-bolt miter design. And its slightly thinner profile is a welcome addition for more modern styles of players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible and powerful 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 BB734A are Yamaha's present-sounding YGD Custom V7 Alnico V single-coil design. Use the bass's active 3-band EQ and blend to 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.
