With bolt on necks and passive electronics, Yamaha's new BB2000 series is the ultimate modern rock bass. The new BB

takes ﬁ rm command of low-end duties with immense volume and incredible presence, standing out in even the loudest mix.

The Yamaha BB has a long and bright history with world-class players choosing BBs for many years and on some of

the biggest tours and albums ever made. The latest BBs redeﬁ ne what a real bass is.

The new BBs take every element of a bass guitar and push it one stage further, with incredible detail paid to each and

every element. Bodies and necks are crafted from hand-selected woods and treated with our ARE and IRA pre-aging

processes to create an unbelievably resonant, vibrant and bold sounding guitar. Redesigned neck joints and through-

body stringing give ﬂ awless sound and feel while custom-wound pickups drive thick, rich tone that sits perfectly in a

mix. Totally redesigned hardware with unique bridges and revolutionary nut materials complete the picture – a bass

built around sound and playability, with no compromise.

Two versions of the new BB are available. The BB2024/2025 with traditional BB looks, and the BB2024X/2025X

trimmed with pickguard, metal plate, and metal knobs. Both versions are available in 4- or 5-string conﬁ gurations.

Nickel Silver Nut

(BB2000/1000 Series)

Nickel silver, as opposed to bone or

plastic, delivers an open string sound that

is closer to that of a fretted note since the

fret and nut materials are the same.

Five-Piece Neck

(BB2000/1000/400 Series)

Five-piece necks on all BB 2000 series

basses are made with plies of mahogany,

which supplies silky warmth, and maple,

which produces strong upper mids and

bright highs. This design also forms a

durable and stable neck that resists warping.

* BB1000 and BB400 series basses feature 5-ply

maple and nato laminated necks.

Spline Joint (3-Piece Bodies)

(BB2000/1000 Series)

Three-piece bodies are fitted together

using spline joints to increase surface

contact between slabs thus increasing

body resonance. Mounting the bridge on

the center piece moves even more string

vibration to the body.
