Yamaha BB235 Electric 5-String Bass Guitar | Vintage White

The Yamaha BB235YNS 5-String Bass, continues the legacy of Yamaha’s iconic BB series. Originally introduced as an affordable alternative to American-made basses - without sacrificing tone or craftsmanship - the BB quickly earned its reputation. Early adopters like Billy Sheehan and Peter Hook, two legendary players with completely different styles, showcased the impressive versatility the BB platform is known for.

This latest BB model pairs a retro-inspired look with a modern, gig-ready build. Featuring an alder body, maple neck, and a J-bass pickup configuration, it delivers a wide palette of usable tones - from smooth Jazz lines to aggressive Metal riffs - making it an ideal choice for players seeking adaptability, reliability, and classic Yamaha character.

Refined Neck Profile
A slightly slimmer neck than previous generations enhances comfort and playability for both modern and traditional bassists.

Lightweight Tuners
