Isn't it "Duct" tape?

That confuses me too. I called it duct tape until I noticed it's made by "Duck"

Unless you buy 3M stuff then it's Duct Tape:

TBH in a musical setting it's always known as "Gaffer Tape" tape to me irrespective of who actually made it.

Shouldn't that be Gaffa tape? :D

I use Gorilla tape. Some serious sh*t tape that is...

I've got a roll of that - the self-adhesive equivalent of a 6" nail.

if you call yamaha main uk dsitributors they will give you the number for the uk distributor for their parts service

i would tell you myself but i cant remember and lost the invoice :blink:

i do distinctly recall that they charged me the princely sum just in excess of 20 guineas for a replacemnt battery compartment for a trb1004 - they dont sell the lid on its own as they fit it once in the factory and if it comes out its sort of designed with an inherent inbuilt weakness so that you cant properly get it back in the compartment without breaking it :angry:

ed- for clarity the 20 squid the battery compartment also included the 9v battery tag and the p+p was also included

That's the stuff. Anything gets stuck around this house... it stays stuck.

Hi guys,
I've managed to lose the battery cavity cover for my yamaha rbx 775, any suggestions for a makeshift/direct replacement?
Thanks

I think I'd cut a piece to suit out of thin wood or plastic / acrylic and fix it with screws - either small woodscrews straight into the bass or fitting threaded inserts into the bass and fixing with M3 machine screws. Allow screws to be countersink to keep the surface flush. Threaded inserts better for removal / refit when changing batteries.
