BB714BS
Woofer pickup designed in
collaboration with YASH*
In addition to the split pickup, the
BB714BS carries a specially designed
double humbucker installed at the
neck position where it generates great
low-end tone. The front humbucker
is wired through a push-pull high-cut
circuit that lets you choose between
a traditional "Attutude" neck pickup
tone with high-end, or a bass boosted
ultra-low 60's sound.
