Yamaha BB424X electric bass guitar black

General

The Yamaha BB424X electric bass guitar in black shouldn't be overlooked with its impressive alder body that not only looks nice but provides a sound that is balanced, with bright highs and clearly defined lows. Double cutaways make it easy for you to reach the highest positions. The diagonal string-thru construction deserves some attention too, as the strings go over the bridge and through the body in a 45 degree angle (as opposed to the typical 90 degrees) relieving some of the tension from the saddles. This results in better sound transmission and a longer life span for your strings, because the chance of breakage is significantly reduced.

5-layer laminated neck of the BB424X

The solid construction of this electric bass guitar offers carefree playing enjoyment, and the 5-layer laminated neck certainly has something to do with that as it not only contributes to the smooth looks of the bass but helps make it more durable and prevents warping and twisting. The neck is also mounted 5 mm deeper into the body than that of traditional bass guitars, resulting in a much more solid overall construction with better sound transmission and attack. And because we all know looks really do matter, the fretboard features mother-of-pearl inlays.

3-way pickup switch

The Yamaha BB424X electric bass guitar is equipped with a split-coil and a rail single-coil pickup. The split-coil on the front is responsible for powerful, tight lows, while the rail single-coil gives high volume and a vivid sound. Via the handy 3-way switch you can choose from either of the two pickups or a combination thereof. Use the master tone knob to filter out the high frequencies to compensate for the sharp sound produced by a pick.
