General

Simply put, the BBP34 is a top-quality bass guitar that's at the very pinnacle of Yamaha's BB series. It's the result of over four decades of experience and includes a reinforced neck connection that's been bolted on to the body using six screws. The body is made of alder and maple and the neck is made of three pieces of maple with two pieces of mahogany sandwiched in between. Not only do these wood types ensure an instrument with excellent stability, they also provide a robust sound with enough room for articulation that won't get lost even in the noisiest of mixes.

BBP34: pickups

The overall sound is full and well-balanced and the YGD Custom V7 pickups in PJ configuration add plenty of versatility too. The pickup in the mid position is a split single-coil that offers a familiar growl while the bridge pickup delivers a single-coil sound with slightly more definition. Both pickups have Alnico V magnets and extra polarity to ensure that you won't get any of the annoying hum that's associated with some traditional PJ basses on this BB 700 series model.

Controls and other features

Each pickup has its own volume control giving you different sound possibilities, and you can brighten or darken the tone using the tone potentiometer. The open-gear machine heads on the slimmer neck and the Vintage Plus bridge are lightweight and ensure excellent tuning stability. It's possible to string this bass through the bridge or the body. Stringing it through the body means that the strings run at an angle of 45° adding more tension than you'd normally get on a bass with a 34-inch scale length. Finally, the adjustable saddles make it easy to set this bass up to perfection.

Yamaha BB Series BBP34 Vintage Sunburst with case

Wrote the following about Yamaha BB Series BBP34 Vintage Sunburst with case
Cet instrument est exceptionnel pour de la fabrication de série
Je suis bluffé par un haut niveau de réalisation
Les japs ont fait fort 😄
Ayant une fender jazz basse vintage 64 de bonne facture je peux vous assurer que cet instrument moderne m'a conquis
Une lutherie presque irréprochable digne d'un custom shop et encore car tout les custom shop ne sont pas si extraordinaire que ça
J'en ai essayé quelques unes
Je vais juste retoucher les bords de frettes qui sont certes déjà bien fini mais j'aime la perfection
Un manche de qualité entre une jazz et une précision et costaud
Le son :
Avec les mêmes cordes , le même volume d'ampli ces micros sont plus puissant que ma jazz
Ca slap d'enfer
Petite différence en haut du manche ( un son plus moderne)
Ca ne me dérange pas du tout
Parcontre le micro précision
Miam😍
En passif le son est chaud avec un excellent médium et pour peu que l'action soit bien réglée
( Légère frisouille) c'est le top
Micro chevalet n'est pas en reste non plus
Par rapport à du fender de série
Là vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper
J'ai bcp navigué sur les forums pour cette basse et les critiques sont unanimes
Après les goûts...
Perso je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat
Si vous avez la chance d'essayer
C'est encore mieux
Cette basse est attachante

Yamaha Announces New BB Series Bass Guitars

Friday 30 June 2017 By Richard | Bax Music

Yamaha's BB series has been offering bassists a pure sound for 40 years thanks to the production techniques used. Basses in the BB series allow you to create your own sound rather than sounding the same as all the rest. Now, they're adding 24 new models to the collection, opening up a new chapter in the series and continuing the legacy of producing excellent bass guitars you can rely on in any situation.
