Built for the professional bassist, the Yamaha BB700 Series takes the legendary BB design to the next level with a blend of classic tone and modern flexibility. At its core is a powerful active/passive pickup system, giving you the ability to switch between vintage warmth and punchy modern clarity with ease. Paired with a 3-band EQ, you have full control over your tone in any playing situation—on stage, in the studio, or in rehearsal. The BB700’s body features a premium alder/maple/alder construction, delivering a balanced, resonant tone with enhanced definition and sustain. Its six-bolt miter neck joint not only provides rock-solid stability but also maximizes body-to-neck contact, allowing vibrations to transfer more efficiently for a fuller, richer sound. To top it off, the convertible bridge with diagonal stringing options offers added tonal flexibility and improved tension response, whether you prefer traditional through-body or top-load setups. From precision performance to classic feel, the BB700 Series is a bold, road-ready bass built to meet the demands of today’s working musicians.
