Yamaha 5 String Electric Bass Guitar With Pickguard Black Offer by: Musician's Friend Price: USD 2,799.99 From Yamaha comes the BB2025X, a wild 5-string electric bass with a pickguard and a metal plate mounted under a control board. The electronics and EQ controls provide a distinguished bass tone, with power and dimension to turn heads and shake some butts.

Pursuing ultimate passive sound, " Open Face Pickups" are used to cope with even aggressive picking of rock players. 5-piece neck The electric bass' necks consist of maple and mahogany. It provides durability and prevents necks from warping and curling. Spline joint The Yamaha BB2025X 5-string bass has employed a 3-piece body structure with which its bridge is placed on the center piece in order to translate the maximum amount of string vibration to the body. Instead of simply gluing wood pieces, Yamaha inserts a maple plate, called a " spline" , into a slot on the bass guitar' s joint sections. By doing that, Yamaha has succeeded in obtaining as much body vibration as a 1-piece body with this 3-piece body structure.

With this chemical-free treatment, the bass sounds silky smooth and mature right ou
