Yamaha Broadbass BB435 5-String Bass in Teal Blue

Miter bolting holds the neck closer and tighter to the body fusing these two separate components into one.

Compared to a conventional bolt-on joint, miter bolting offers a more efficient transfer of string vibration throughout the body, for improved sustain and outstanding resonance that brings every note to life.

Alnico magnet pickups are tuned to deliver the classic BB vintage tone, slightly updated to provide a brighter sound that cuts through in live performance situations.

The new BB models are equipped with one tone control and two volume control knobs, for versatile sound shaping.

The 400 models are equipped with a Vintage Plus Light bridge that incorporates 'Diagonal Body Thru Stringing' in which the strings are angled at the saddle and pass through the instrument to the bridge at a 45?§ angle, as opposed to the traditional vertical stringing method which places more stress on the strings. Diagonal Body Thru Stringing significantly reduces this stress while transferring string vibration to the body reliably and efficiently. The strings can also be attached to the tail end of the bridge. In 5-string models, the bridge is equipped with an offset
