Features
Woofer pickup designed in collaboration with YGD (Yamaha Guitar Development)
In addition to the split pickup, the BB714BS carries a specially designed double humbucker installed at the neck position where it generates great low-end tone. The front humbucker is wired through a push-pull high-cut circuit that lets you choose between a traditional "Attutude" neck pickup tone with high-end, or a bass boosted ultralow 60's sound.
Bridge
Bridge and other hardware are black nickel plated which is in addition to looking great, is good for the environment as well since it has no lead.
Neck
Billy's BB 714BS comes with a neck that is slim, trim, and fast. The rosewood on maple neck is thinner and trimmer than the Attitude bass and offers greater playing comfort.
