captainhaddock Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Does anyone know if it is possible to get aftermarket pickups for a TRB 1004 4 string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB26354 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The standard TRB basses are discontinued - all that is now available are the high-end TRBPII and the John Patitucci sig (I snared probably the last TRB1006 from Yamaha, fantastic bass for less than a grand). Maybe if you contact Yamaha UK they can advise you - I went on a sales course there many years ago and they keep spares on everything for a [i]long[/i] time... As for aftermarket pickups anything will work as long as it has the same dimensions - I believe the TRB used alnico V magnet single coils if that helps...

GreeneKing Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If you still have the original and it's defective Andy at Wizard has been known to work wonders. Not just repairing but re-winding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
