Its alder\/maple\/alder body, 6-bolt miter neck joint and 5-piece maple\/mahogany neck work together to deliver excellent resonance, sustain and note definition, while Yamaha’s YGD Custom V7 pickups and active\/passive 3-band EQ provide a wide range of tones for live, studio and rehearsal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BB700 Series is designed for players who need an instrument that can adapt to different genres, venues and recording situations. The combination of active and passive operation gives the BB735A the flexibility to move from clear, modern definition to more traditional passive bass character with a simple switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe alder\/maple\/alder body construction uses a hard maple center section to increase body stiffness, enhance midrange presence and improve the transfer of vibration between the neck and body. This helps the bass cut through a band mix while maintaining strong sustain and resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha’s 6-bolt miter neck joint pulls the neck tightly into the body for more efficient vibration transfer than a conventional bolt-on design. The 5-piece maple and mahogany neck adds strength and stability while combining quick maple attack with the warmth of mahogany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYGD Custom V7 pickups use Alnico V magnets to produce a thick, well-defined tone with strong articulation. The split-coil neck pickup and single-coil bridge pickup work with the pickup balancer and active 3-band EQ to cover a wide range of sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe active\/passive circuit has been tuned for smooth level matching between modes, with the treble control converting to a master passive tone control when the bass is switched to passive operation. Gold-plated signal contacts improve conductivity and reliability, while a rear-panel battery alert LED provides advance warning of low battery power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Plus bridge allows either bridge-through or body-through stringing. Body-through strings pass through at a 45-degree angle to reduce string stress while maintaining strong vibration transfer. Convertible brass saddles can also be positioned in two orientations to fine-tune response, with the rounder side producing a slightly softer sound and the more angled side providing a tighter response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstrument Type: 5 String Electric Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries: BB700\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Bolt-on with 6-bolt miter neck joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34 inches \/ 863.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Construction: Alder \/ maple \/ alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 5-piece maple \/ mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 23 5\/8 inches \/ 600 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrets: 21 medium frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Graph Tech\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Width at Nut: 43.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Width at 12th Fret: 63.9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret: 20.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret: 22.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Yamaha VSP7n split single-coil with Alnico V magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Yamaha VSC7b single-coil with Alnico V magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, pickup balancer, bass, middle, treble and active\/passive switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEQ: 3-band active EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePassive Mode: Treble control functions as master passive tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery Alert: Rear-panel low-battery LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage Plus with convertible bridge\/body stringing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Saddles: Convertible brass saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Plate: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Lightweight open-gear tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eString Gauge: D'Addario EXL170-5, .045-.130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should choose the Yamaha BB735A 5 String Electric Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yamaha BB735A 5 String Electric Bass is a strong choice for players who want professional-level versatility, solid construction and dependable tone in a 5-string platform.
