I didn't have time to shield it, but I found another weird thing. Touching pickup screws makes the buzzing much louder. What can it be?

I'll try that.

I resoldered the wire and both pickups work. But there's still a lot of buzzing when not touching the strings or touching the screws that pickups are screwed in with.

Hi everyone, Not so long ago I bought a Żak B4 guitar. It's pretty old. There is a lot of buzzing when not touching the strings, so I thought it has something to do with the wiring. I looked inside the electronics cavity and saw a mess. I would like to resolder everything. The problem is that P...

Someone bought it faster. So, I need to settle on this Yammy TRB1005J :D

I must make the decision today...

Hi everyone! I found a used Spector ReBop 5. The guy told me, that he bought the bass 8 years ago. He send me some pics (I attached them). I see, that frets are worn out. Can you tell me if I should worry about this?

Hello! In My previous thread I asked some questions about Yammy bass, but I found this Ibanez to be in my price range. I play mostly some rock, heavy metal, some drop-tuning things and some jazz (I want it to be versatile). So, my questions are: 1. Will the 34" scale won't be a problem for low...

That's a great tone :o His older signature (not the RBXJM2) had the Yamaha pickups.

Yeah, I've read about this. The preamp works only with original pickups, but the pickups can be wired to other preamp like singles, because they have a "dummy coil" that eliminate some noise, but they don't work with other preamps.

I'm sorry that I ask so much questions :D Is it hard to change the pickups? You need to drill some holes?

Thank you for your answer! :) That's pretty weird. Can you use the pickups without filling this holes?

There are no non custom pickups for this size?

How did he managed to put the EMG pickups in? The pickup cavities have weird size, but I'm glad that someone did it :D

Thank you for your thoughts brothers!

I don't think that a pretty wide string spacing would be a problem. Does the bass cut through nicely? Do you fiddle with preamp knobs?

Peavey? It's like a lottery, another cheap made bass. It was a great company, but today their basses are not that good. I want a guitar, that has constant quality control, and the Yamaha is great with it. I will get a TRB for sure.

If I had the money, I would buy a Spector Euro, but here in Poland it costs about 2000$, and Yammi 1000$, so yeah...

I like flat and wide necks. I heard some not very good things about this preamp, but it can't be bad.

Damn, I didn't knew that :D

My friend had one. I played it a little bit, it sounds pretty good for that price.

I don't want to sound like an "GIVE ME THE BEST BASS FOR METAL FOR 100$ QUICK", if I sound like this I'm sorry :) I just want to hear some opinions on playing heavier stuff with "not made for this" bass :D

Metal with a Hofner?... Nothing is impossible :D

I had three basses to this time, Yamaha TRBX 504, Jackson CBX V and a Jackson CBXNT V and the two Jacksons had a problem with something, but Yamaha was pretty good. I regret selling it, but I wanted to get a 5-stringer. I love Yamaha instruments and that's why I'm gravitating so hard to TRB...

Thank you for your answer! Yeah, I think the same, but I want to know some opinions :D

Hello! I want to know what can you say about this bass. I want to buy a TRB1005J, and play mainly rock and metal with it. It has 35" scale, so the B is good, and I'm searching for great built quality. But I'm afraid, that it's not good for that type of music. I have a Zoom B1XON pedal, but I...

Doesn't work. It really drives me nuts.

Neck is not twisted. I will try unscrewing the bridge, but I heard about "setting witness points". Maybe I should try that. But I'm afraid that my strings will break faster.

Yeah, I was thinking about twisted neck, but when I move my saddle it can buzz in every position, so I think it's something with the bridge.

Bass looks normal. Buzz is like there's something inside the guitar, but only if I'm playing B, A and 4, 6 and 7 frets on E. I can hear it best then. But when I move for example G string saddle left and right it sometimes starts to buzz too.

Can somebody help? 'Cause it's driving me nuts :D

How can I know if it's the graphite reinforcment or truss rod buzzing?

Nah, the screws are like butter.

So, changing strings helped a bit but it's still there. I tried to unscrew the bridge, but it's screwed to hard, and I'm a strong man :) I destroyed two of screws after I tried to unscrew them.

It drives me crazy :D

I will change the strings. I hope it will work :/

I took out the battery and the noise was still there.

All my strings have this noise, but G string noise sometimes appear when I pop my saddle left or right. There is a click when I move my saddles on the sides. How can I check if it's the bridge fault? When I touch the bridge nothing changes, but I think it comes from there. I had a Jackson David...

Maybe the nut is angled wrong and the string buzz inside.

Maybe it's because strings don't have good angle at the nut. That would make sense.
