Installing An EMG BTC Into Yamaha RBX5 A2

[novanine9]

regarding the knobs...those sunken in / routed volume and tone cavities where the btc knobs sit on at 0:30 to 0:43:

Are they painted silver, or are there an actual plated with some kind of plastic or metallic lid?

thanks

@novanine9 The routings were plastic and were part of the stock Yamaha bass - if you track down an RBX A4 or A5, you'll get those as part of the bass itself.

@optikhog - thanks for the info. I've got a guitar that I would like to customize with the lighted volume knob and the plastic routing covers, so...

I'm, really, curious to know if I those plastic routing "cups" could be removed, easily...or are the glued on...

I can order the part on Yamaha's parts dept.

Do you still have the lighted volume knobs and how were they able to be lit ...I mean...where is the batteries installed...on the knob?

how is that possible.

thanks again...

Do you still have the lighted volume knobs?

I would be interested in purchasing that from you.

[optikhog]

@novanine9 No, those are still on the bass. The bass has actually been sold as well.

@optikhog - thanks for the reply.

I don't get it....where are the lights installed?

Are the lights coming from the sunken cavity or are they on the knobs?

regards

@novanine9 Yamaha put LED's under the plastic to light them up,. Those are stock - I did not install them

[fmardeus]

Isee,that you actually replace the original knobs.The black ones came with the BTC?It is posible to keep the originals? :( And wherw did you bougth the BTC? Thancks!

[optikhog]

@fmardeus The original knobs are usable on the two volume pots but the EMG pot is concentric, so you would need to find stacked knobs which matched the originals. I bought mine at sweetwater, by the way.

@optikhog thank for your amability,answering my quest.Beg a pardom for make to you an other quest;... That Circuit really give a more prominent low tones???

[optikhog]

@fmardeus No problem, yes it can add a large amount of bass. You can even adjust the frequency of the bass being added.

[optikhog]

@fmardeus The circuit itself will allow you to adjust your high and low frequencies.

[optikhog]
