Construction

This Pro Series Broad Bass features a new 3-layer laminated body construction made up of Alder/Maple/Alder. The hard maple center increases body stiffness and accentuates midrange to cut through the mix of a band, and allows a more uniform transmission of vibrations between the body and the maple neck for unparalleled resonance and sustain. The neck is held to the body with a 6-bolt Miter Neck Joint. This type of of construction allows the body to sit not only closer but tighter to the neck which fuses the two components together to provide more sustain from tip of the headstock to the bottom of the body which brings every note you play to life! The new Pro Series features a 5-ply 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 adds the tight, penetrating character of maple combined with the warmth of mahogany to the instrument's tone.

Pickups & Sound Control

This Pro Series BBP34 comes fitted with a set of custom wound YGD Custom V7 Pickups. These use Alnico magnets to produce a fat yet penetrating tone that works in combination with the unique Alder/Maple/Alder construction of the 700 and Pro models for an natural, well-defined sound. You have control over these stunning sounding pickups with a master tone control and two volume controls for each pickup.

I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration)

Any bass benefits from being "played in," a process in which the instrument matures and opens up as the stresses between the wood and finish, neck and fingerboard, and body and hardware are released, resulting in better sound and playability. Yamaha's exclusive Initial Response Acceleration (IRA) technology releases those stresses by applying specific vibrations to the completed instruments as part of the crafting process and gives a "played in" bass from day one.
