Yamaha TRB5P Bridge Pickup cover for 3D printer

[AngeR]

Hello guys,

 

I have an amazing Yamaha TRB5P but don't like a bit the electronics. Changed the preamp and fitted a Sadowsky 4 Knob, sound killer! Some time a go, I bought a set o MAMA pickups  (they make them specifically for this bass). The P pickup sounds good, a bit too compressed for my taste but sounds good. The problem was always the bridge pickup. Hums like hell, thin sound and low output. Not really happy here...

 

So, since I have a Nordstrand NJ5S sitting at home, I decided to solve the problem by building a pickup cover using the 3D printer and Tinkercad to design it.

It's the first time that I use this kind of software and it's possible that everything isn't perfect but so far, is looking good.

 

Honestly, I never post anything about my workl but I decided to post this project because I really hope that this 3D model solve someone's problem as it did for me.

As soon as I get this thing printed, I'll update the post with some pictures

This is just the stuff we need! I fancy a white/cream pickup cover for an incoming bass.

As promised, here it is. 
it’s far from perfect but I think it’s going to work. 
the guy who printed the cover added a little twist in the design and now is looking a little different than my original project. 
I’ll post some updates when I fit it in my bass

Ooh that’s very impressive!
