Description
Built with the demands of a first-call session legend, the Yamaha BBNE2 Nathan East Signature in White is a pro-grade 5-string active bass with massive versatility. A neck-through, 5-piece maple/mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard deliver piano-like sustain and fast response, while custom Alnico V pickups feed an active 3-band preamp voiced with Nathan East. Engage the signature selectable mid-cut (“magic box”) circuit to carve space in any mix—perfect for R&B, pop, fusion, worship, and studio sessions.
