The 5-string model of the BB734A offers musicians more than just an instrument - it becomes a part of their musical journey.

Alder/Maple/Alder Body Construction: The BB700 models boast alder/maple/alder laminated body construction, enhancing body stiffness and midrange accentuation for exceptional resonance and sustain.

6-Bolt Miter Neck Joint: Miter bolting tightens the neck to the body, improving string vibration transfer for outstanding sustain and resonance.

Active Circuit: Specially tuned for fine tonal control, the active/passive circuit offers tonal flexibility with a level-matched output and seamless tone switching.

Control: Active pickups with a 3-band EQ, pickup balancer, and active/passive switch provide enhanced sound-shaping capabilities.

Convertible Bridge and Saddle: The Vintage Plus bridge allows stringing through the body or bridge, offering precise tone shaping with convertible brass saddles.

5-Piece Neck: A 5-piece maple and mahogany laminated neck ensures durability, sharp attack, and quick response.
