{"product_id":"used-5-string-bass-in-black","title":"Yamaha BB415 5-String Bass Guitar Black Used","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Workhorse BB in Black — Ready for Your Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yamaha BB series has been quietly earning respect since the late 1970s, and the BB415 is a prime example of why players keep coming back to it. Five strings, passive electronics, and a PJ pickup configuration — this is the kind of bass that just works. No fluff, no gimmicks. You plug it in, dial in your tone, and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular BB415 is finished in Black and shows the honest wear of a gigged and played instrument. The headstock has a dent, there are poly lines and fine finish scratches in the body, and a small indent on the back bottom of the bass. Nothing that affects playability — this is a bass that's been out in the world doing its job. No case or gig bag is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a capable 5-string with real tonal range and a comfortable neck at a used price, the BB415 is worth a serious look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlder Body, Maple Neck — Classic BB Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BB415 is built around a solid alder body — a wood choice well-regarded for its balanced response across the frequency range, with a clean low end and clear mids. The bolt-on maple neck brings brightness and attack to the mix, and the rosewood fretboard adds a touch of warmth under your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 21 frets and a 34\" standard scale, the BB415 sits in familiar territory for most bass players. The neck profile is comfortable and manageable even for those newer to 5-string playing, and the low B string benefits from a specially designed vintage-style bridge that extends the fifth saddle to dial in the right string tension and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePassive PJ Pickups — One Switch, Lots of Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BB415 runs a split-coil pickup in the neck position and a single-coil soapbar at the bridge, giving you a classic PJ voicing in a passive circuit. The controls are simple and effective: master volume, master tone, and a 3-way selector switch. Solo the neck pickup for a throaty, round P-bass character. Flip to the bridge for something snappier and brighter. Blend both for a full, versatile sound that can cover a lot of ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassive electronics mean what you hear is exactly what the bass is giving you — no batteries, no preamp quirks. Players who want straightforward, reliable tone will feel right at home here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple, bolt-on construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood with 21 frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\" standard scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-string\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Split-coil (neck) + single-coil soapbar (bridge) — passive PJ configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master volume, master tone, 3-way pickup selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage-style with extended 5th saddle for improved string tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage-style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a used bass guitar from our inventory.
