The switchable active/passive circuit features a level-matched output, which means you won't have to adjust your output volume when changing circuits. In active mode, you have comprehensive sound-shaping potential with the 3-band EQ. In passive mode, the treble control becomes a master tone control. And instead of a selector switch, a blend control allows you to find the perfect balance for its YGD Custom V7 pickups.Innovating basic concepts When it comes to building a better bass, Yamaha took nothing for granted with the BB735A. For example, the bolt-on neck is joined to the body with six bolts, two of them mitered (joined at a 45-degree angle). Yamaha's engineers determined that this offers more efficient transfer of vibration, leading to improved sustain and resonance. The innovation continues with the Vintage Plus bridge with diagonal body-through stringing, where strings pass through the body to the bridge at a 45-degree angle. This reduces stress on the string and also contributes to better vibrational transfer.Convertible saddles offer two distinct voicings The Vintage Plus bridge actually offers multiple stringing options — you can pass the strings through the body at a 45-degree angle or pass them through the tail end of the bridge. And whichever you choose, you can further dial in your tone via the convertible saddles. Each saddle has a rounder side for a slightly softer sound and a more angled side for a slightly tighter tone. And with the ability to convert each string's saddle individually, you can fine-tune your bass tone on a per-string basis with this bridge.Yamaha BB735A 5-string Electric Bass Guitar Features: Alder/maple/alder multi-lam body construction for maximum tonal impact 6-bolt miter neck joint for improved vibrational transfer from strings to body YGD Custom V7 pickups with alnico magnets for an organic, well-defined sound Active/passive tone circuit with volume matching for consistent output 3-band EQ in active mode, treble control becomes your master tone control in passive mode Pickup blend knob for dialing in your ideal pickup combination Vintage Plus bridge with diagonal body-through stringing for better vibrational transfer Convertible saddles offer 2 distinct voicings that you can set per string Brass saddles for deep low end, steel bridge plate for added brightness All screws and springs are stainless steel to resist corrosion Lightweight tuning machines for improved balance SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 5 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape BB Series Doublecut Body Material Alder/Maple/Alder Body Finish Satin Polyurethane Color Translucent Matte Black Neck Material 5-piece Maple/Mahogany Neck Shape C Radius 23.625" Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Bars Number of Frets 21, Medium Scale Length 34" Nut Width 1.692" Nut Material GraphTech Tusq Bridge/Tailpiece Vintage Plus String-thru Bridge with Convertible Brass Saddles, Steel Plate Tuners Lightweight Open-gear Neck Pickup VSP7n Alnico V Split-coil Bridge Pickup VSC7b Alnico V Single-coil Controls 1 x master volume, 1 x balancer, 3-band Active EQ, Active/Passive switch Strings D'Addario EXL, .045-.130 Case Included Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
