Frequently Asked Questions
The BB734's EQ is quite comprehensive, offering precise control over bass, mids, and treble – more flexible than the simpler EQ found on some earlier Yamaha models.
It’s a solid construction; it’s not inherently bad, but a set-neck would offer slightly more sustain and a different feel, which is a matter of personal preference.
The split single coil offers a more refined, less muddy tone than a traditional P-bass pickup, while the bar single coil provides punch and clarity – a nice balance for modern music.
