A diverse array of high-caliber players took to these unique instruments, such as Van Halen’s Michael Anthony, No Doubt’s Tony Kanal, and legendary session ace Abraham Laboriel Sr. Their comfortably contoured bodies, clear-as-a-bell electronics, and immediately identifiable look keep these basses at the forefront of many different genres. The Yamaha BB434 is among the latest additions to this storied line of lauded instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--media\"\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lazy-load-active\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sweetwater.com\/api\/i\/f-webp__q-85__ha-657543cb0d642ae6__hmac-75930bd14b850549a65bc3579349b4f56065f1bb\/store\/enhanced\/items\/BB434MBL\/972783-neckjoint.jpg.auto.webp\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.sweetwater.com\/api\/i\/f-webp__q-85__ha-657543cb0d642ae6__hmac-75930bd14b850549a65bc3579349b4f56065f1bb\/store\/enhanced\/items\/BB434MBL\/972783-neckjoint.jpg.auto.webp\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003eThe 6-bolt miter joint, finish may vary.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFamiliar construction with modern twists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat truly sets Yamaha’s BB basses apart from other basses are their comfortable and familiar contours. Carefully crafted from balanced-sounding alder, the BB434 4-string boasts that same identifiable character. Its rounded edges and forearm and belly cuts seem to melt into your body while playing. The bass’s 5-piece maple and mahogany bolt-on neck sings with a new level of punch and sustain, thanks to its 6-bolt miter design. And its slightly thinner profile is a welcome addition to a more modern style of players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible and easy-to-use electronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a session player or a specialist, you know the benefits of a P\/J pickup combination.

And nail punchy fingerstyle tones with the bridge pickup — a favorite for many Sweetwater bassists. The BB434’s passive volume\/volume\/tone control layout couldn’t be easier to dial in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--media\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"lazy-load-active\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sweetwater.com\/api\/i\/f-webp__q-85__ha-d3048544aad2cd14__hmac-1bd5fb815613e776d5c26b927d0b3f0c67cb9fc7\/store\/enhanced\/items\/BB434MBL\/e36ba4-BB434MBL.jpg.auto.webp\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.sweetwater.com\/api\/i\/f-webp__q-85__ha-d3048544aad2cd14__hmac-1bd5fb815613e776d5c26b927d0b3f0c67cb9fc7\/store\/enhanced\/items\/BB434MBL\/e36ba4-BB434MBL.jpg.auto.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYamaha BB434 4-string Bass Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraightforward version of a classic bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern appointments such as lightweight tuners for better balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder body offers a clear tone with plenty of punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive YGD Custom V5 Alnico V P\/J pickup setup is versatile and intuitive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-piece maple and mahogany bolt-on neck is incredibly stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neck’s 6-bolt miter neck joint ensures the bass sings with clarity and sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple to use volume\/volume\/tone control layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinner neck profile for a more modern feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisionSounds\u003c\/strong\u003e — South Africa's specialist in premium camera and audio gear.
