Yamaha BBP35 MK II Pro Series 5-String Bass Guitar - Midnight Blue

• Alder/Maple/Alder Body Construction
  The latest BB Professional models feature alder/maple/alder laminated body construction. The hard maple center increases body stiffness and accentuates midrange to cut though a band mix, and allows a more uniform transmission of vibration between the body and neck, resulting in exceptional resonance and sustain.
• 6-bolt Miter Neck Joint
  Miter bolting holds the neck closer and tighter to the body, fusing these two separate components into one.Compared to a conventional bolt-on joint, miter bolting offers more efficient transfer of string vibration throughout the body, for outstanding sustain and resonance that brings every note to life.
• YGD Custom V7 Pickups
  Alnico magnets produce a thick yet penetrating tone that works in combination with the unique body construction to deliver an organic, well-defined sound.
• Control
  The latest BB Professional models are equipped with one Tone control and two Volume controls for versatile sound shaping.
• Convertible Bridge and Saddle for Precise Tone Shaping: Vintage Plus Bridge
  BB Professional models feature our Vintage Plus bridge, which allows stringing through the bridge or body. Strings pass through the body at a 45-degree angle, which places less stress on the strings than traditional vertical through-body stringing, while efficiently transferring string vibration to the body.Long-scale strings are recommended when stringing through the bridge and super long-scale strings are recommended when stringing through the body.Convertible brass saddles offer two angles for precise shaping of tone and feel. The rounder side produces a slightly softer sound, while the more angled side produces a slightly tighter tone.The brass saddles deliver deeper low-end and the steel bridge plate adds brightness. All screws and springs are stainless steel to guard against corrosion.
• 5-Piece Neck
  The latest BB Pro models features a 5-piece maple and mahogany laminated neck, in a bolt-on design that delivers a sharp attack, and quick response. This durable construction resists warping and twisting and combines the tight, penetrating character of maple with the warmth of mahogany.
• Neck Shape-The latest BB models feature a slightly thinner neck than previous BB basses, improving playability and feel for both modern and traditional bassists.
• Lightweight Tuners-Lighter-weight tuners offer better balance and complement the overall feel, providing a perfect match for the smaller, lighter body of the latest BB.
• Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A.)
  Any bass benefits from being "played in," a process in which the instrument matures and opens up as the stresses between the wood and finish, neck and fingerboard, and body and hardware are released, resulting in better sound and playability.
