Electric Basses

As the go-to instrument for some of the biggest names in bass since its introduction in 1977, players like Nathan East, Tony Kanal, Billy Sheehan, Glenn Hughes, Robbie Takac, Peter Hook, and Jack Gibson have made their signature sound with a BB. The new BB takes the iconic style and versatility of this classic bass, and its legendary sound, to a new level.

The BB series basses boast all the classic characteristics of the original BB's, from the distinctive big body design and bolt-on neck to vintage-style hardware and soapbar and split-coil pickups.
