Yamaha BBP34 Bass (Japan) Vintage Sunburst Used (s/n:ILH386E) 2025 Very Good Condition! Bass comes with really nice Yamaha Hardshell Case! Note: Bass has normal minimal playware. Please See all pics.
The Yamaha BB bass has been around for decades, and the BBP34 represents the Japanese-made Professional Series version of that familiar design.
This 2025 BBP34 in Sunburst, serial number ILH386E, recently came into Northeast Music Center in very good used condition. It's a serious working bass with a traditional P/J pickup layout, excellent Japanese build quality, and the kind of straightforward design that makes the BB series easy to appreciate.
There's nothing particularly complicated about the BBP34, and that's part of what we like about it. It feels substantial and purposeful without being overdone.
Made in Japan
The BBP34 is built in Japan and uses Yamaha's alder/maple/alder body construction. The maple center section is sandwiched between alder, giving the Professional Series a construction that goes beyond the more traditional solid-alder approach.
The neck uses Yamaha's 5-piece maple and mahogany construction with a rosewood fingerboard and 34" scale. Yamaha also uses its 6-bolt miter neck joint, with two additional bolts set at an angle to pull the neck tightly into the body.
It's the kind of construction detail you may never think about once you're actually playing the bass—which is probably a good thing.
Familiar P/J Layout
Yamaha equips the BBP34 with a YGD Custom V7 split-coil pickup in the neck position and YGD Custom V7 single-coil at the bridge.
Controls are refreshingly simple: individual Volume controls for the two pickups and a master Tone. That makes it easy to lean heavily into the split-coil, bring in the bridge pickup for more definition, or blend the two wherever you like.
The BBP34 also uses Yamaha's Vintage Plus bridge with convertible saddles, allowing the strings to be run through the bridge or through the body depending on the setup and feel you prefer.
It's a very usable bass, which is ultimately what the BB series has always been about.
