Something like /yx:vax/. バッハ = Bach /vax/, so I guess is the same pronunciation as the composer. ユー = Y or Ü, so either would sound the same. If you want try it on the translator. And ハ = x (english) / ch (german), many words in german finishes in "ch" and sound with the /x/ pronunciation.

The pronunciation there is [yçvax] and not [yxvax]. If Kubo wanted the [yçvax] pronunciation he'd transliterated the name as ユッヒバッハ　Yuhhibahha. I think his name should be pronounced [y:vax] and in a more Anglicized pronunciation, [ju:bak] or [ju:bæk].
