AngeR Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 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. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5365871 As soon as I get this thing printed, I'll update the post with some pictures 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) This is just the stuff we need! I fancy a white/cream pickup cover for an incoming bass. Edited April 26, 2022 by Owen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeR Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
