BB Bass Series

Yamaha's longest-running bass series offers an inspired blend of vintage styling and modern precision that has been embraced as a modern classic by players of every genre. The various BB models cover a wide price range and all supply the discriminating bottom-feeder with a big slab of resonant alder, a super-precise 24-fret rosewood-on-maple neck, first rate fretwork, formidable hardware, and a pair of versatile J-style pickups.
Active Electronics

The BBN5A includes the Yamaha 5-control Active System Electronics. Our custom 3- band EQ gives the BB's extensive tonal versatility, and the 3 position Midrange control, with user tweakable settings, facilitates fast and repeatable presets.
