General

BB234: simple and effective

When it comes to design, Yamaha have gone for simplicity and efficiency with the BB234. The body is made of alder, a wood type that has been successfully used on bass guitars for decades for its lively, full, bright, well-balanced and versatile sound. The maple neck adds some sparkle to the tone while the rosewood fretboard provides a touch of warmth.

Ceramic pickups

The BB234 features ceramic pickups in a PJ configuration. There's a split single-coil in the neck position and a standard single-coil at the bridge, giving you plenty of tonal variety. Both of the pickups are Yamaha V3 Custom models with ceramic magnets that deliver a loud, bright sound that will cut easily through the mix in virtually any style of music.

The Yamaha BB234 is a versatile electric bass guitar that is a great model for beginners or for those looking to add their collection. Whether you're after a bass with the right look, the right feel or the right sound, with the BB234 you get the whole package.
