Had a limited edition Trace Elliot 5 string bass and Hartke combo in the back seat of my car in an open church parking lot while practicing for a wedding. Came out and found the glass broken and gear gone. Never left my stuff after that!

Yamaha TRB5 Yamaha TRB6-JP1 Had the TRB5 before the JP1. Went through the whole bass section in a shop and chose the JP1. Having the deep warm rounded low end, clear mids and crisp highs (tunable eq) always was inspiring and made me sound good on different combos as well as heads & cabinets...

My TRB6JP1 quit on me the other day. In getting replacements for the pickups and preamp, I'm trying to maintain as much of the original sound(that came from pickups which are split coils and passive, while the preamp is the active part). If not possible, would like to improve the bass(upping...

What preamp and pickups will match the existing fitment? Need the same replacement to be able to closely match the sound characteristics of the original setup? If not what replacement would be able to improve on the original sound characteristics?

Btw while on the topic of Moog sounds, is there a way to get something similar to a Moog analog sound effect from a bass guitar when using a Zoom B2 effects pedal? Looking for a sound similar to what's used in the song "The Best of Me" by David Foster and Olivia Newton John. Hoping there is an...

Very much interested in this topic since my TRB(6)-JP needs a new mid cut/boost control for its EQ. Either I need to find an identical(discontinued in 2003) part or a technically compatible one or do I swap out existing pickups and Eq for a whole new set? Hoping to retain the originals tonal...

What specifically happened with the circuitry? Was the EQ board? Just one of the controls? I have a JP1 that worked fine till a month ago when I just began to loose its signal. A local repair shop said that the mid boost/cut control needs to be replaced. The closest part I have found online was...

Hi, Need to find either identical, comparable or improved yet compatible parts for a yamaha TRBJP2 as follows: !. Preamp 2. Pickups Looking for a source with a wide variety of potentiometer knobs as well thanks!

Need the names of vendors and costs for items please. Items needed are the board, potentiometers and truss rods for the bass guitar. Apart from contacting yamaha locally, I am inquiring as to any other options for these components. Could go with original replacement parts or upgrade components...

Did I post this question in the wrong place? Apologies... but what does "the DB side of talkbass" mean? Really interested in suggestions on would work for this bass guitar based on all else that was mentioned. Thanks!

Please do elaborate on impact of string characteristics(materials or combinations thereof, winding types or shapes etc, and many more details that will give texture/feel) as how it would lend to giving crisp highs, wider mids and warmer/fuller lows when playing jazz & gospel music in a smooth...
