    Hi all! I had a black, 4-string Yamaha bass that I purchased new in 2003/2004 timeframe with active pickups (maybe EMGs?), black machine heads, and black knobs with o-rings (maybe hipshot knobs?). Unfortunately it was stolen about 10 years ago and I have been looking for it ever since. Not sure...

    TRBX 504 bass...any idea what the EQ frequencies are?

    Hi, I own a TRBX 504, which I love. I'm curious what the EQ frequencies are, when dealing with the on-board electronics. I can't seem to find that info anywhere. I know that I can boost or cut...but which frequency (in hertz) are the EQ knobs centered around? Does anyone know? Cheers,

    Hello, I’ve played guitar for over 20 years, and I’m considering buying a bass. I have a good handle on what money will buy you when it comes to guitars, but strangely I feel that experience doesn’t quite carry over to the bass world.

    Hissing noise on TRBX 504

    Hi I got the TRBX 504 a few days ago. I like the tone and how it sounds but the hissing noise is mostly audible and distracting even if I increase the treble slightly. I tried it with an Amp (Rumble 40 v3) and also directly to my audio interface. I'm new to bass and I've never had any other...

    Yamaha TRBX605 vs Heartfield DR-5 , for Gospel

    Say I were to get the 605 for $600 new and the DR-5 for about $500 used, in terms of versatility (ergonomics playing different styles, finger/slap), actual usable tones, and playability which one would be my best bet. I'd be mainly playing Gospel, so I really appreciate high sustain and a tone...
