Yamaha Rbx374 4String Electric Bass Guitar Questions & Answers
My cousin bought a Yamaha bass from a garage
Replace the battery. The battery is turned on when you plug in the cable, so DO NOT leave cable in when you are not using the guitar.
Use a standard MONO instrument cable NOT a stereo type.
Hi,
I have an RBX 374
i dont' see where this model has active pickups (guessing this is what you mean by pre-ampped).
The issue can be in a few places.
1) the strings could be too far from the pickups and the instrument needs to be tuned.
2) the pickups are bad
3) your jack is bad
4) the cable is bad
5) your equilizers are not corrected
6) your volume control is turned down or damaged
7) your amp is damaged
this is a small list of the basic possibilities.
We have a yamaha guitar which needs repair, the
Here is the link you need:http://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/rbx/rbx374/?mode=model The manual is down loaded in pdf. Scroll down the page. The serial number has nothing to do with the manual only the model number applies.
What potentiometer is being used in rbx 374 bass
Yes, active use different value pots than passive. The volume control is LIKELY an "audio taper" which can be either an "A" or a "B" marking as there is confusion about the marking. The resistance is likely around 500K ohms down to as low as 50K ohms. The marking MIGHT be something like 504 B or 503 B or the same with the letter "A".
An A500 pot might be only 50 ohms... That would result in very low output. Again, the marking in the industry is not consistent.
Best bet is to get the part from Yamaha. Go to Yamaha America "parts" dept in California. You can search the phone number with Google.
Will a midi interface allow me to play downloaded music on a yamaha clainova 305
Yes, with some preparation. The music will have to be in a standard MIDI file format or a format that results in standard MIDI over USB output when "played" by computer software or an external sequencer. Within the software you will probably need to create a new "instrument" if there is not already a template for the CVP 305, otherwise the tracks and sub channels in the MIDI file will be patched to GM, probably not what you want to hear.

What is the best way to reprogram a Yamaha WX5 Ewi
Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:
- Access the Menu:
- Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
- Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
- Select Parameter to Edit:
- Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
- Adjust Parameters:
- Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
- Save Changes:
- After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
- Refer to the Manual:
- Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
- Connect to a Computer:
- Some advanced customization may require connecting your WX5 to a computer using MIDI. You can use Yamaha's dedicated software, if available, to reprogram certain parameters.
- Use External Sound Modules:
- If you're using external sound modules or synthesizers, some customization may need to be done on those devices as well. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI equipment to ensure compatibility and proper configuration.
- Explore Advanced Settings:
- Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.
Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed.
Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.
