Yamaha BB235 5 string bass in Black with an alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and passive PJ pickup configuration.

Weighs: 9 lbs, 10 oz

The Yamaha BB235 is a straightforward, reliable 5 string bass designed for classic tone and everyday performance.

The alder body provides a solid tonal foundation with clear lows, defined mids, and smooth highs. The passive PJ pickup configuration offers flexibility, delivering both punchy precision style tones and more open, blended sounds.

The maple neck offers a comfortable, easy playing feel, while the rosewood fretboard provides a familiar, consistent playing surface across all five strings.

The PJ pickup configuration provides:

• Focused low end punch from the split coil
• Added clarity and articulation from the bridge pickup
• Versatile blending options
• Balanced tone for multiple styles

Dual volume controls and a master tone allow for simple, effective tone shaping.

With a 34 inch scale length and 18mm string spacing, this bass feels comfortable for fingerstyle and pick playing alike. Lightweight open gear tuners help improve balance and reduce neck dive.

Finished in Black with a white pickguard, this model offers a clean, classic look.
