Members BASSDAD Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I 've got a vintage Yamaha BB1110S with a bad 18v preamp( 1/2 the power to the board is fried). My regular tech says it needs a d/c'd circut board that he can't find. Any suggestions on a replacement? It had P/J style pickups. It still works as good a passive bass. It's a '79 thru early-mid eighties as far as anyone can guess. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 What kind of tone are you going for? Do you like it as a passive bass? Or did you prefer it as an active bass when it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BASSDAD Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 What kind of tone are you going for? Do you like it as a passive bass? Or did you prefer it as an active bass when it worked. Good clean sounds and some heavier. Some fuzz.It's kicks ass passive. Have never heard the active tone. It only comes on as a weak signal w/ half power. It has a pre-amp on/off toggle so getting it to work would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Super Bass Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Check out Audere, you should be able to get something from them to replace it. http://www.audereaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BASSDAD Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Check out Audere, you should be able to get something from them to replace it. http://www.audereaudio.com Thanks.I 'll check them out. I'll have to ask the tech about the type of board. What about a replacement preamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BASSDAD Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 OK . I see audere does that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 OK . I see audere does that as well I'm confused. Audere makes preamps...not boards. If your preamp board is fried, it would be much easier just to replace the entire preamp. In fact, I've never heard of one replacing the board... Other notable companies to check out would be Aguilar, Bartolini, John East, Seymour Duncan... It all depends on what you want to do and how you want it to sound. Make sure you do plenty of research to find exactly what you want. They make them with so many options these days... Also, check www.bestbassgear.com when you want to buy. They have a great selection, will order anything you need, go above and beyond to make you happy, and have good prices too. I'm not affiliated with them...just a very satisfied customer.

At this point I just want to replace the preamp. Theboard has not been made since the mid 80's. I'll try bestbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BASSDAD Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 What I'm trying to say though...is the board is the preamp. Aha! Now I see the issue. Apparently this thing has a replacable power board separate from the rest of the pre amp (don't know how buit the tech told me) this part was used for only 3 years or so and is apparently impossible to find. Maybe that's why I'm having trouble saying what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
