The Yamaha BB 235 RW RBR 5-String Electric Bass Raspberry Red is a five-string model featuring an alder body, a maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard, Custom V3 pickups, and a raspberry red finish. The BB 235 is the introductory version of the hardest working bass from Yamaha.
Powered by split-coil and single-coil Custom V3 pickups in the neck and bridge positions respectively, this bass guitar delivers a clean, well-defined sound thanks to ceramic magnets. One tone control and two volume control knobs allow for versatile sound shaping.
A slightly thinner neck improves playability and feel for modern and traditional players. Lightweight tuners offer a better balance and complement the overall feel of this guitar, thereby providing an ideal match for the small, light body.
Yamaha BB235 Raspberry RedThis is a great bass. I can compare it to a BBP34 I have, also from MusicStore. It is very easy to play, a very thin neck. The sound compares to the BBP, it has the same nuances.
It responds well to setup changes.
One modification was really necessary: shielding, I covered all cavities in aluminum foil and connected to ground. Now it is silent.
I will still replace the bridge, it is not so stable, the string-saddles tend to move sideways. But for this money it is acceptable.
All in all a very nice bass for 20% the cost of a BBP - and they sound almost the same! If you want to try a 5-string, try this one. You will not regret it.
