BB434M BL

The Yamaha BB434M BL is a modern, versatile 4-string bass guitar that combines classic BB series character with contemporary refinements. Finished in sleek black with a bright maple fingerboard, it offers a bold, stylish look on stage.

Built with a solid alder body, the BB434M BL delivers a punchy, warm low end, strong mids, and clear, articulate highs—perfect for everything from rock and funk to jazz and pop. Its 5-piece maple and mahogany neck features Yamaha’s signature six-bolt miter joint, providing excellent stability, enhanced sustain, and smooth resonance.

The maple fingerboard not only adds visual contrast but also contributes a snappy, lively attack to your tone. Equipped with passive YGD Custom V5 pickups in a P/J configuration (split single-coil neck and single-coil bridge), this bass can cover everything from classic vintage thump to bright, growling tones.

Other standout features include a Vintage Plus Light bridge that supports string-through or top-load setups for improved resonance and flexibility, as well as lightweight open-gear tuners for reliable tuning and comfortable balance.
