BBNE2 BLACK

The Yamaha BBNE2 Black is the signature 5-string bass of world-renowned session bassist Nathan East. Built to meet the highest professional standards, it offers exceptional tone versatility, flawless playability, and striking stage presence.

It features a neck-through-body design, with a 5-piece maple and mahogany neck that extends through a maple top and alder body. This construction delivers outstanding sustain, deep low-end punch, and excellent resonance — perfect for any musical style, from smooth jazz to aggressive funk or rock.

The ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, fast feel and a premium look, enhanced by elegant abalone oval inlays. The bass is equipped with two custom-designed Alnico V stacked humbuckers, delivering powerful, clear, and dynamic tones with minimal noise.

A standout feature is its active 3-band EQ paired with Nathan East’s signature mid-cut switch, allowing for quick sculpting of your sound — from warm, rounded lows to bright, cutting highs. The controls also include a pickup balance knob and master volume, providing maximum tonal flexibility.

The BPZ-7 individual bridge design enhances sustain and ensures precise intonation, while the high-end gold hardware (including Gotoh tuners with pearl buttons) adds both beauty and durability.
