Yamaha's flagship electric bass model in the BB series, the "BBP," has received a minor update!

For 40 years, the Yamaha BB Series has consistently pursued the sounds and features demanded by the music scene of each era, earning high praise from countless bassists. The new BB Series dramatically improves body resonance, delivering a sound that combines power with clear definition. A bass that continues to evolve while honoring tradition. Yamaha BB.

Carrying on the Tradition
We have continuously refined our designs to provide basses that exceed the expectations of bassists. The BB Series has evolved as a bass that responds to players seeking their own unique sound. The new BB Series continues to honor the BB tradition while remaining a bass that delivers the sound and expression you seek in any musical setting.

・3-ply alder/maple/alder body construction
The new BB series features a 3-ply alder/maple/alder body construction. The hard maple sandwiched between the alder on both sides enriches the midrange and produces a resonant tone that blends seamlessly into the band’s sound. Furthermore, the use of maple for the body allows for direct sound transmission from the maple neck, reducing sound loss between the body and neck and ensuring that string vibrations are reliably captured.

・I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration)
I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) is a technology that applies appropriate vibration to a finished instrument to reduce the stress inherent in the finish and adhesives immediately after completion, thereby promoting the instrument’s natural resonance. Players are well aware of how important it is to “break in” an instrument.It is said that playing in a new instrument improves its tone. The reason for this is that the stresses occurring between the wood components—such as the neck and fingerboard, between the wood and the finish, and between the wood and the hardware—are resolved through playing, allowing the parts to settle and resonate as a unified whole. By applying the I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) treatment, the bass is brought closer to a "played-in" state, bringing out its ideal body resonance.
