The Yamaha BB734a Bass is a masterclass in versatility, designed for the modern bassist who demands both classic tone and cutting-edge innovation. This 4-string electric bass is crafted with an Alder/Maple/Alder body construction, providing a rich tonal foundation that balances attack and warmth. The hard maple center enhances body stiffness, accentuating midrange frequencies to cut through any mix with ease.

The BB734a’s standout feature is its 6-bolt miter neck joint, a design that ensures unparalleled resonance and sustain. This innovative neck joint fuses the body and neck into a single cohesive unit, allowing for the efficient transfer of string vibrations and a harmonically rich sustain that will elevate your performance.

Equipped with Yamaha's YGD Custom V7 Alnico V pickups, this bass delivers a wide range of tones that can be shaped with its active 3-band EQ and active/passive switch. Whether you're dialing in a classic P-bass growl or modern punchy fingerstyle tones, the BB734a offers the flexibility to suit any musical situation. The 5-piece maple and mahogany neck is not only incredibly stable but also features a slightly thinner profile for enhanced playability.
