The BB: a Yamaha bass designed for the stage, from rehearsal to performance
The Yamaha BB235BL is part of the BB series, a family of basses designed to offer reliable playability, a timeless look, and great musical adaptability. This 5-string version follows the philosophy of the BB234 while adding an extension in the low register, particularly appreciated in modern rock, current pop, metal, worship, or urban music.
For whom and for which styles
Thanks to its standard scale length and balanced craftsmanship, this BB235BL suits both motivated beginner bassists who want to start directly on 5 strings, and intermediate players looking for a versatile bass for rehearsing, recording, and gigging. It easily adapts to styles where low-end sustain and precision are essential: rock, funk, pop, blues, gospel, metal, and variety music.
Sound
The alder body provides a balanced response, with present mids and controlled lows, helping the bass sit well in a mix. The maple neck enhances attack and clarity, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly softens the extreme highs for a rounder feel. The combination of Split SC pickups on the neck and SC pickups on the bridge (P/J style) allows switching from a thick and punchy sound to a more defined and articulate tone, useful for pick playing, slap techniques, or more precise low-end lines.
Recommended compatible accessories
With its 34" / 863.6 mm scale length and 5 strings, this bass is compatible with a 5-string long scale bass string set (34"), ideal for adjusting feel (gauge) and brightness according to your style.
