The Yamaha Broadbass BB434 – Classic Tone with Modern Versatility
Legendary BB Series Design with Modern Upgrades
The Yamaha Broadbass BB434 continues the legacy of the iconic BB series with a 6-bolt miter neck joint, balanced alder body, and versatile passive electronics. This 4-string bass is designed for players of all levels, delivering exceptional sustain, punchy tone, and effortless playability. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, the thinner-profile neck and lightweight tuning machines provide superior comfort and balance for extended playing sessions.
Comfortable Contours with Sustain-Enhancing Features
The BB434's alder body is expertly shaped with forearm and belly contours, ensuring a comfortable playing experience. The 5-piece maple and mahogany neck enhances stability, while the 6-bolt miter neck joint improves sustain and clarity. The result is a bass that not only feels great but also resonates with a rich, full-bodied tone.
Flexible Passive P/J Pickup Configuration
Equipped with Yamaha’s YGD Custom V5 Alnico V pickups, the BB434 provides incredible tonal versatility. The split single-coil neck pickup delivers the warm, growling P-style sound, while the bridge pickup adds punchy articulation for fingerstyle playing. The simple volume/volume/tone control layout makes it easy to dial in your preferred sound for any playing style.
Vintage Plus Light Bridge and Lightweight Tuners
The Vintage Plus Light bridge enhances resonance and features a convertible bridge and saddle design for more tonal options. The lightweight open-gear tuners contribute to better weight distribution and improved tuning stability, making the BB434 an excellent choice for long rehearsals and performances.
