    YAMAHA TRB CLUB

    Hello TRB Club folks, I posted a question about installing 3rd party 2-wire pickups (Fender, in this case) with a stock TRB pre-amp here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/2-wire-pickups-into-a-yamaha-trb-pre-amp.1638376/ I am referencing my post here for visibility, hoping some knowledgeable...

    2-wire pickups into a Yamaha TRB pre-amp

    Hi everyone, I was hoping to replace the stock pups on my Yamaha trb1005 with a Fender ultra noiseless vintage jazz bass V pickup set, while keeping the stock Yamaha pre-amp. With the stock pups being 3-wire: active coil (red) + dummy coil (white) + ground, and the jazz pups being 2-wire: hot...

    Pickups and electronics upgrade for my Jackson JS3V

    Ampeg SVT 4 pro - problem, or normal?

    Ampeg SVT 4 pro - problem, or normal?

    I got a used SVT 4 Pro recently. When I first power it on, the low end is weak. After some time, it kicks in and all is well. At first, it took a few minutes (10-15). Lately, it's taking longer and longer (20-30 minutes). In the owners manual under "Thermal Considerations" it says "When the...
