Yamaha BB734A 4-String Right-Handed Bass Guitar with 3-Band EQ and 6-Bolt Miter Neck (Fired Red)
The Yamaha BB734A 4-String Right-Handed Bass Guitar in Fired Red merges the sharp, incisive tone, and remarkable adaptability of active pickups with the robust punch and sustain. It delivers an exceptionally versatile sound that can be tailored to suit any musical genre or setting.
Guitar Body Construction
The bass guitar is constructed with a laminated alder, alder, and maple. The inclusion of a hard maple core enhances the rigidity of the body and emphasizes the midrange frequencies, enabling it to stand out within a band mix. This design facilitates a more consistent transfer of vibrations between the body and neck, leading to remarkable resonance and sustain.
6-Bolt Miter Secures Neck Closely
Miter bolting secures the neck more closely and firmly to the body, effectively uniting these two distinct parts into a single entity.
In contrast to a traditional bolt-on joint, miter bolting facilitates a more effective transmission of string vibrations throughout the body, resulting in exceptional sustain and resonance that enhances the clarity of each note.
YGD Custom V7 Pickups Generates Rich Tone
YGD Custom V7 Pickups utilize Alnico magnets, which generate a rich and resonant tone. Alnico magnets combined with the distinctive body construction, result in an organic and clearly articulated sound.
Specifically Designed Active and Passive Circuit
This guitar is equipped with a uniquely calibrated active and passive circuit that offers precise tonal adjustments and remarkable versatility. This revised circuit has been optimized to deliver a sharper tone and enhanced midrange frequencies, through a level-matched output in both passive and active modes, along with tone-switching technology that effortlessly transitions from treble control to a master passive tone.
Key Signal Chain Connections and LED Battery Alert
Premium gold-plated components are utilized for the key signal chain connections, enhancing both conductivity and reliability. Additionally, a battery alert LED located on the rear panel offers immediate notification of low power, thereby preventing unexpected power failures during performances.
Increased Versatility
The bass guitar boasts active pickups, a three-band equalizer, a pickup balancer, and an active and passive switch, providing increased versatility and flexibility in sound shaping.
Vintage Plus Bridge
It incorporates the Vintage Plus bridge, which enables stringing through either the bridge or the body. This innovative design allows the strings to pass through the body at a 45-degree angle, decreasing stress on the strings in contrast to traditional vertical through-body stringing while promoting efficient transfer of string vibrations to the body.
Convertible Brass Saddles
Convertible brass saddles provide two distinct angles for accurate tone and feel adjustment. The rounded side yields a somewhat softer sound, whereas the more angled side results in a slightly tighter tone. The brass saddles enhance the low-end response, while the steel bridge plate contributes brightness. All screws and springs are made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion.
5-Piece Maple and Mahogany Laminated Neck
It incorporates a 5-piece neck crafted from laminated maple and mahogany, utilizing a bolt-on design that delivers a clear attack and rapid response. This durable construction is engineered to resist warping and twisting, harmonizing the sharp, penetrating sound of maple with the warm tones of mahogany. It boasts a neck that is marginally thinner than that of earlier BB basses, enhancing playability and comfort for both contemporary and classic bass players.
Lightweight Tuners for Better Balance
The lightweight tuners enhance the instrument's balance and overall feel, making them an ideal pairing for the smaller and lighter body of the newest BB734A bass guitar.
