The custom V7 pickup configuration combines the warmth and authority of a split-coil neck pickup with the articulation and clarity of a single-coil bridge pickup, giving players access to a broad range of usable tones across rock, pop, funk, metal, indie, and session work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA major upgrade within the BB435 platform is Yamaha’s 6-bolt miter neck joint, which improves body-to-neck energy transfer for enhanced sustain, resonance, and long-term stability. Combined with the 5-piece maple and mahogany neck construction, the bass feels exceptionally solid and dependable during extended rehearsals, touring, and studio use. The Vintage Plus bridge further improves feel and flexibility by supporting both top-load and string-through-body stringing configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black finish gives the BB435 a clean understated appearance with strong stage versatility and timeless visual character. Paired with the BB body shape and chrome hardware, the finish creates a bass that feels classic, focused, and adaptable across virtually any musical environment while maintaining the modern working-player identity of the BB Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-string BB Series construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustom V7 Alnico V split-coil and single-coil pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-bolt miter neck joint for improved sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVintage Plus bridge with convertible stringing system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-piece maple and mahogany neck construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpgraded hardware and electronics throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (863.6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: P\/J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: 5-String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (863.6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 5-piece Maple\/Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 10\" (250 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFret Type: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: GraphTech\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 43 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: P\/J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom V7 Split Single-Coil (Alnico V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom V7 Single-Coil (Alnico V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Front Pickup Volume, Rear Pickup Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage Plus Light Bridge (Convertible Stringing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Lightweight Open-Gear Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: 5-String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Rain City Guitars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Yamaha Canadian Dealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurated by musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessionally inspected before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast secure shipping across Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":46548796866697,"sku":"BB435-BL","price":899.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7299\/3417\/files\/BB435-BL-PP-JPG.jpg?v=1779406268","url":"https:\/\/raincityguitars.com\/products\/yamaha-bb435-black-5-string-bass-guitar","provider":"Rain City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
