Yamaha BBP35 MK II Pro Series 5-String Bass Guitar

Made in Japan, this is the ultimate BB, featuring an Alder/Maple/Alder construction treated with Yamaha’s unique IRA technology, a six-bolt miter neck joint, and a diagonally strung convertible bridge.

The Yamaha BBP35 MK II (often referred to as the BBP35 II) is the premium, Japanese-made 5-string flagship of the Broad Bass (BB) series. This “second generation” of the BBP35 became widely available around October 2023. It retains the series’ classic passive P/J character while incorporating high-end construction techniques aimed at professional playability and sustain
Key Specifications
  • Body Construction: A three-ply “sandwich” body featuring an Alder/Maple/Alder construction. The hard maple center increases body stiffness to accentuate the midrange, while the alder provides a warm, solid foundation.
  • Neck Design: A 5-piece Maple and Mahogany bolt-on neck. It utilizes a 6-bolt Miter Neck Joint, where two diagonal screws pull the neck deeper into the pocket for superior vibration transfer and stability.
  • Pickups: Equipped with YGD Custom V7 Alnico V pickups in a P/J configuration.
    • Neck: VSP7n split single-coil for thick, classic bass tones.
    • Bridge: VSC7b single-coil for more aggressive “growl” and definition.
  • Hardware: Features a Vintage Plus Bridge that allows for 45-degree diagonal body-through stringing, which reduces string stress compared to traditional vertical methods.
  • Special Treatment: Every instrument undergoes Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A.) treatment. This vibration process releases internal stresses in the wood and finish, giving the bass a “played-in” feel and improved resonance from day one.
