The Yamaha BB734A 4-String Right-Handed Bass Guitar in Fired Red be relied on to deliver an extraordinarily versatile sound that you can adapt to any genre or environment.Body ConstructionIt features alder, maple, and alder laminated body construction. The hard maple center increases body stiffness and accentuates midrange to cut through a band mix, which allows a more uniform transmission of vibration between the body and neck, resulting in exceptional resonance and sustain.6-Bolt Miter Neck JointMiter 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 more efficient transfer of string vibration throughout the body for outstanding sustain and resonance that brings every note to life.YGD Custom V7 PickupsAlnico magnets produce a thick, yet penetrating tone that works in combination with the unique body construction to deliver an organic, well-defined sound.Active CircuitIt features a specially tuned active and passive circuit for fine tonal control and extreme flexibility. This updated circuit has been retuned for a crisper tone and improved mids via a level-matched output whether in passive or active mode and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone. High-quality, gold-plated parts are used for key signal chain contacts, providing increased conductivity and reliability, and a battery alert LED installed on the back panel gives instant indication of low power to eliminate sudden power loss during performance.ControlThe bass guitar features active pickups with a 3 band EQ, pickup balancer and an active and passive switch for enhanced versatility and flexibility when shaping your sound.Convertible Vintage Plus BridgeThe guitar features Vintage Plus bridge, which allows stringing through the bridge or body. Strings pass through the body at a 45-degree angle, which places less stress on the strings than traditional vertical through-body stringing, while efficiently transferring string vibration to the body.Brass SaddlesConvertible brass saddles offer two angles for precise shaping of tone and feel. The rounder side produces a slightly softer sound, while the more angled side produces a slightly tighter tone. The brass saddles deliver deeper low-end and the steel bridge plate adds brightness. All screws and springs are stainless steel to guard against corrosion.5-Piece NeckIt features a 5-piece maple and mahogany laminated neck in a bolt-on design that delivers a sharp attack and quick response. This durable construction resists warping and twisting and combines the tight, penetrating character of maple with the warmth of mahogany.Neck ShapeThe Yamaha BB734A 4-String Guitar features a slightly thinner neck than previous BB basses, improving playability and feel for both modern and traditional bassists.Lightweight TunersLighter-weight tuners offer better balance and complement the overall feel, providing a perfect match for the smaller, lighter body of this guitar.
