Yamaha BB735A Matte Translucent Black

The Versatile Workhorse for Stage and Studio!

The Yamaha BB735A is a professional 5-string electric bass that combines uncompromising versatility, enormous reliability, and a commanding sound. Designed for musicians who rely on their instrument every day, this bass offers flexible active/passive electronics, powerful YGD Custom V7 pickups, and an extremely resonant construction. Whether it's a live gig, rehearsal, or recording session, you can always count on a defined, punchy, and musical tone.

Alder/Maple/Alder Body for Balanced Tone

The multi-layered body of alder, maple, and alder provides increased stiffness and exceptionally even vibration transfer. The hard maple core emphasizes the mids and helps your bass cut through the mix with authority. At the same time it produces long sustain and outstanding resonance that make every note sound clear and present.

6-Bolt Miter Neck Joint for Maximum Stability

The specially six-bolt miter neck joint connects the neck and body especially tightly. Compared with conventional bolt-on designs, string vibration is transmitted more efficiently, leading to more sustain, better response, and a very direct playing feel.

YGD Custom V7 Pickups and Flexible Electronics

The fitted YGD Custom V7 pickups with Alnico V magnets deliver a warm yet well-defined sound with plenty of presence. Combined with the specially voiced active/passive circuitry and the 3-band EQ, you can precisely shape your tone to suit your style, the room, and your playing. Output level stays balanced in both modes, and switching is completely seamless.

Vintage Plus Bridge for Precise Tone Shaping

The Vintage Plus bridge allows both string-through-body and classic top-load stringing. The angled string-through geometry reduces string stress and optimizes vibration transfer. The solid brass saddles are reversible and enable fine tuning between a softer or tighter tonal character, complemented by a steel base plate for added brightness.

Playability and Reliability in Focus

The 5-piece neck made of maple and mahogany combines stability with tonal warmth and quick response. The slightly slimmer neck profile significantly improves playability and appeals to both modern and traditional bassists alike. Lightweight tuners also contribute to a balanced feel and comfortable handling during long sessions.
