Yamaha BB1025X
Yamaha's BB1025X incorporates many of the same features found in the BB2000 series such as spline joint body, 5-piece neck, diagonal body through-stringing as well as newly developed pickups and bridge. This bass give strong presence in sound with a defined low-end. Available in black, caramel brown, tobacco sunburst and vintage white finishes.
Features:
Spline Joint:
The BB1025X has employed a 3-piece body structure with which its bridge is placed on the center piece in order to translate the maximum amount of string vibration to the body. Instead of simply gluing the wood pieces, Yamaha inserts a maple plate, called a "Spline" into a slot on its joint sections. By doing that, Yamaha has succeeded in obtaining as much body vibration as a 1-piece body with this 3-piece body structure
Diagonal Body Through Stringing:
In Diagonal Body Through Stringing, strings are angled 45 degrees at the saddle to reduce stress and secure their tension. Moreover, because the attached area of strings to saddles is larger than conventional vertical stringing, much better transmission of vibration is obtained.
Pickups:
Both front and rear pickups were specially invented for this particular series. Pursuing ultimate passive sound, "Open Face Pickups" are used to cope with even the aggressive picking of rock players. 5-piece Neck: These necks consist of Mape and Nato. The 5-piece design provides durability and prevents the neck from warping and curling.
Nickel Silver Nut:
The nut is crafted from Nickel Silver. It is the same material used in the fret wires. Unlike conventional bone or artificial ivory nuts, it gives the same sound quality and feeling even when open notes are played. For any bass player, it is a crucial part of a well defined low end.
