Yamaha TRB pickup problem

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone who owns a Yamaha TRB bass with humbuckers has had a similar problem to mine?

I keep having to adjust the height of the rear pickup as the top of the pickup is getting too close to the strings - I'm not sure if it's an issue with the sponge underneath, or if one of the screw holes needs filling and retapping?

If anyone can help, would be very much appreciated :)

Cheers,
louisthebass

Hi Steve,
I do indeed. Do you think this could be part of the problem?

well if youre heavy handed like i am then the weight of your thumb/hand combined with the slight rocking motion against the pickup is going to pull against the screw maybe - youre basically pulling against the strings so there will be an approximately equal opposite force going through the pickup/body where the tip of your thumb connects with it and unless you play with your hand absolutley still then there is going to be 'some' leverage against those screws

maybe a combination of that and what nugget says above - sounds like you might need to plug the screw holes with some slithers of wood to pack the screw in tighter
