BB235 VW

The Yamaha BB235 VW is a versatile and affordable 5-string bass guitar designed for players who want classic BB style and sound with extra low-end range. It features a solid alder body for a clear, balanced tone and a smooth maple neck with a comfortable rosewood fingerboard, making it easy to play across all 21 frets.

Equipped with Yamaha’s Custom V3 pickups in a P/J configuration (split single-coil in the neck and single-coil in the bridge), it delivers a punchy, powerful sound suitable for many styles — from rock to funk to jazz. The simple control layout (two volume knobs and a master tone knob) offers flexible tone shaping.

Its vintage white gloss finish and lightweight open-gear tuners complete a classic, stylish look while ensuring stable tuning and good balance. With a 34-inch scale length and modern playability, the BB235 VW is an excellent choice for intermediate players or anyone looking to explore a 5-string bass without breaking the bank.
