The body of this bass is made up of several pieces of wood that are connected by a mortise and tenon joint. Thanks to this construction, there is an excellent transmission of string vibrations and the sound is very powerful. Its transmission is taken care of by a special Yamaha woofer pickup and DiMarzio, which guarantee that the bass will come through in any mix. Two volume controls are complemented by a built-in switch for clipping the higher frequencies of the woofer pickup. The instrument features stereo outputs for each pickup separately and a standard mono output.
The neck of the bass is fixed to the body with a special system of screws that prevent it from moving and also have a positive effect on vibration transmission. The frets in the higher positions are hollowed out, so the notes intonate better and the strings are easier to bend.
High-quality open Gotoh mechanics are replaced by Hipshot mechanics in the case of the "E" string for immediate tuning to the "D" note.
