    Yamaha trbx 305, good 5 string?

    Thank you. I will pull it apart tomorrow and look into the electronics. I know it has modules that could come loose. And again if the previous owner butchered something....who knows?

    Yamaha trbx 305, good 5 string?

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, I just put a new 9V in there. The top and the very bottom position is almost 25% louder than the ones in between. I wonder if the previous owner (I bought it used) has done something with the electronics. I think he was from Belize and didn't habla much English but...

    Yamaha trbx 305, good 5 string?

    Hi guys. I know this is an ancient thread. But I am going to try to revive it anyway. I just bought a TRBX 305 for gigs. Versatile to say the least. I write jazz and find this baby to be a great live performer. My only beef was the frets were quite scratchy so I filed them down to nice and...

    another "home stereo" equipment use for bass (with specifics)

    Buy some kickers and hook them up to the power amps. Make sure you have the right resistance. These kids are selling those things out of their cars for nothing. They can take easily 300-400W And they were made for deep sound.

    Some upgrade on my JB

    I have just bought a pair of noiseless pups for my JB on this forum. Thanks Ray rockinrayduk! Awesome set! So I stripped it from the old setup and replaced pretty much everything. The bridge and the pups the pickguard and the control plate. Now she is all black and sounds amazing!

    Who made the permanent switch to 5 Strings?

    I will never sell nor stop using my Jazz Bass. And I do own a few 5 stringers.

    Does not being able to play jazz = being a poor bass player?

    I can only speak for myself. The last thing I have ever thought I would be playing or even enjoying was Jazz. I grew up on Kiss, Scorpions, Malmsteen and so..... Not being an active player for a long time I thought this was kind of over for me. One day a customer came into the shop and my boss...

    Something weird happened today... (Ibanez Workshop Content)

    Absolutely correct. I have the 5 string one. With that low B it does sound as close to an upright as it gets. I wish they had used white fret marks instead of black ones on a dark fretboard! For 3 weeks I was practicing in dark to train my ears to recognize when I was even slightly off. The...

    Swapped my old pups in my MIA J

    I have ordered a set of big pole pups for my Fender Jazz Bass since I needed to shield the whole thing anyway. I have bought the shielding paint instead of using copper tape though. I have also painted the bottom of the poles and painted them to the ground leads. No buzz when I touch the pups...
