A versatile Yamaha 5-string BB bass built for players who want extended low-end range, classic BB punch, and dependable performance across rehearsals, sessions, and live gigs.

5-string BB Series design with extended low B range
Custom V3 ceramic P/J pickup configuration delivers punch, clarity, and tonal flexibility
Balanced alder body provides strong resonance and comfortable weight distribution
Slim maple neck offers fast, comfortable modern playability
Vintage-inspired BB styling with reliable Yamaha consistency

The Yamaha BB235 expands the proven BB Series platform into a versatile 5-string configuration designed for players who need greater low-end range without sacrificing articulation or overall feel. Built around Yamaha’s custom V3 ceramic pickup system, the BB235 combines the warmth and fullness of a split-coil neck pickup with the focused definition of a single-coil bridge pickup, creating a highly adaptable bass suited for rock, pop, funk, metal, modern session work, and extended-range playing styles.

The alder body delivers balanced resonance with strong low-frequency response and solid note clarity across all five strings. Yamaha’s updated BB body shape improves overall balance and ergonomics while preserving the traditional visual identity that has made the BB Series a long-standing favorite among working bass players.

The slim maple neck gives the BB235 a comfortable and approachable feel despite the added range of a 5-string layout. Combined with the rosewood fingerboard, lightweight open-gear tuners, and vintage-style bridge design, the bass feels responsive, controlled, and dependable during extended rehearsals, studio tracking, and live performance.

The Yellow Natural Satin finish gives the BB235 a more organic vintage-inspired appearance that highlights the bass’s wood character and understated styling. Its satin look pairs naturally with the BB body shape and chrome hardware, creating a bass that feels warm, approachable, and rooted in classic working-player design.
