You've got the chops and you're ready to nail that audition, hit the stage, or get creative in the studio-now it's time to get out there and get noticed. The 400 lineup continues the BB tradition of great build quality and signature sound that won the series acclaim throughout its forty-year history. Whether you prefer a rosewood fingerboard or the distinctively bright, crisp sound of maple, the precision feel and response of the six bolt miter neck along with the presence and clarityof custom-wound pickups will inspire you to play your best when it really counts. Finish: Teal Blue
Features
Miter bolting holds the neck closer and tighter to the body
fusing these two separate components into one. Compared to a
conventional bolt-on joint, miter bolting offers more efficient transfer
of string vibration throughout the body, for improved sustain and
outstanding resonance that brings every note to life.
Alnico magnet
pickups tuned to deliver the classic BB vintage tone, slightly updated
to provide a brighter sound that cuts through in live performance
situations.
The BB models are equipped with one tone control and two volume control knobs, for versatile sound shaping.
The
400 models are equipped with a Vintage Plus Light bridge that
incorporates "Diagonal Body Thru Stringing," in which the strings are
angled at the saddle and pass through the instrument to the bridge at a
45º angle, as opposed to the traditional vertical stringing method which
places more stress on the strings. Diagonal Body Thru Stringing
significantly reduces this stress while transferring string vibration to
the body reliably and efficiently. The strings can also be attached to
the tail end of the bridge. In 5-string models the bridge is equipped
with an offset low B string.
These series features a 5-ply maple and
mahogany laminated neck, in a bolt-on design that delivers a sharp
attack, and quick response. This durable construction resists warping
and twisting and adds the tight, penetrating character of maple combined
with the warmth of mahogany to the instrument's tone.
