Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha’s BB734A is a right-handed, four-string solidbody bass with an alder/maple/alder laminated body and a hard maple center. That center section increases body stiffness, emphasizes midrange and promotes vibration transfer between the body and maple neck. Two single-coil Alnico V pickups feed volume, blend and high/mid/low controls, with a mini toggle for active or passive operation. A 34-inch scale, 21 medium frets and a supplied gig bag round out a bass built for band-mix work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Band rehearsals and performances where emphasized midrange helps the bass cut through the mix.
- Players who want to switch between active and passive operation from a mini toggle.
- Transporting a four-string bass in the included gig bag.
