Yamaha BB235 5-String Electric Bass Guitar – Black

The Yamaha BB235 5-string bass delivers the classic tone and feel that have made BB basses a staple since the late 1970s. Designed with simplicity and performance in mind, this passive bass offers a versatile sound and comfortable playability at an outstanding value.

Built with an alder body, the BB235 produces a clear, punchy tone that works across a wide range of styles. The maple bolt-on neck provides strong midrange presence and sustain, while its thinner profile offers a fast, modern feel that’s comfortable for players of all levels. Lightweight tuning machines help keep the instrument well-balanced whether you're practicing or performing.

Equipped with a versatile P/J pickup configuration, the BB235 features Yamaha Custom V3 ceramic pickups that deliver everything from deep, warm low-end to articulate, punchy tones. The simple volume/volume/tone control layout makes it easy to dial in your sound quickly.

This item is a B-Stock guitar sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is new and has never been previously owned. The photos shown are of the exact instrument you will receive.

Before shipment, our licensed technician will inspect and professionally set up the guitar to ensure it is playing its best

During our inspection, we noticed one knob is on at an angle but, functions fully, we also noticed some fine finish scratches which will show on any gloss black guitar or bass. (see last pictures)

Please note, these may not be the only cosmetic imperfections. As a B-Stock instrument, there may be additional minor blemishes that are small in nature and do not affect playability or performance.
