Yamaha's BB Series represents decades of unwavering commitment to pure bass guitar craftsmanship, prioritising proven technologies over fleeting trends. The BB200 lineup continues this legacy of reliable excellence, offering bassists superbly crafted instruments that serve as a foundation for building your own unique sound rather than imposing a predetermined tonal character. These latest models maintain the series' tradition of dependable performance across any musical situation.
The BB200 stands as the ideal choice for musicians ready to take that crucial step towards serious bass playing, combining best-in-class durability with exceptional sound quality and playability. Yamaha has refined the design with a slightly thinner neck profile compared to previous BB models, enhancing comfort and feel for both contemporary and traditional playing styles. The versatile control layout features dual volume controls for each pickup alongside a master tone control, providing comprehensive sound shaping capabilities.
Built with a bolt-on construction featuring an alder body and maple neck, the BB200 incorporates a rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium frets across an 863.6mm scale length. The pickup configuration pairs a VSP3n split single coil ceramic pickup at the neck position with a VSC3b single coil ceramic pickup at the bridge, mounted on a vintage-style bridge with lightweight open gear tuners completing the hardware package.
