Featuring a six-bolt miter neck joint, the Yamaha BB434 bass continues the legacy of superb sound and playability of the renowned BB series. The latest in Yamaha's storied BB series of bass guitars delivers the superb sound and build quality that this series is known for in a smaller body with even better playability. Featuring an alder/maple/alder construction for quicker transmission of sound from the strings to the body and neck, a firmer 6-bolt miter neck joint for improved stability and custom-wound pickups that achieve higher output gain while retaining the classic BB voicing, BB basses are a testament to Yamaha's commitment to musical excellence.
