Myke Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Hello, I was looking to replace the preamp in my Yamaha TRB5 and had come up with the bartolini HR-5.2/918AP. I was wondering where I could hear one? Also, without replacing the pickups could I make it active/passive or not? Thanks for nay information. Mike P.S. I did come up with a previous thread for this but it didn't really help. Edited February 5, 2014 by Myke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) The TRB-5 soapbars are passive so you can go active/passive. Here's a video comparing various preamps including the Bartolini NTMB (the pre you specified above is a configuration of the NTMB). The NTMB demo is towards the end at around 8m 20s. Obviously this demo doesn't necessarily reflect how it would sound in a TRB5. What don't you like about the TRB-5 preamp?

Myke Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Nothing's really wrong with it, I just fancied a change. And I'd like to see what my bass sounds like in passive too. It's all about experimenting really. Thank you for the video, I quite like the sound of the Delano in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
