Here for sale we have a Yamaha BB345 5-string bass in Sunburst finish. Made in Indonesia this 5-string bass guitar consists of an Alder body, Maple neck and 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Open-Gear tuning machines and Vintage Plus Light Bridge. A Yamaha splitcoil and singlecoil pickup are fitted and wired to individual volume controls and a master tone.

The Maple neck plays very well, with a profile which might be described as a moderately-sized 'D' shape which offers comfortable playability and easy reach in all registers. The Satin finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 34" scale, whilst the generous double cutaways enhance access to the upper frets.

This bass is equipped with both Yamaha splitcoil and singlecoil pickups. This is a versatile combination which delivers a deep and powerful tone.  They provide plenty of depth, warmth and a rounded low end that works very well with the clear, precise mids and glistening trebles. There is plenty of grunt on offer, with a fast attack that will keep your playing front and centre. The simplicity of the controls ensure that you can stay focussed on your playing whilst still offering comprehensive control of your tone. The simple control layout allows the player to blend the pickups in any combination.
