Diagonal Body Thru Stringing
(BB 2000/1000/400 Series)
Together with the uniquely designed
saddle, body thru stringing efficiently
transfers string vibration to the body. A
Yamaha original design used on all BB
series basses places strings at a 45º angle
at the saddle reducing stress, securing
t e n s i o n , a n d m a x i m i z i n g v i b r a t i o n
transfer. The 45º cut on the back end of
the body makes stringing easier and gives
the BB a unique look.

New Pickups
(BB2000/1000 Series)
Designed specifically for the BB series,
these new pickups are the result of
n u m e r o u s t r i a l s , i n s p e c t i o n s , a n d
artist evaluations conducted by the BB
development team, in the pursuit of the
ultimate passive pickup sound. Open
faced designs allow closer mounting to
the string to capture more string vibration
while blade type bobbins on both front
and rear handle aggressive rock picking
with even response across strings. Alnico
V magnets were chosen for the front
pickups to deliver warmth and ceramic
magnets on the rear for punch.
