Try a brand new battery? Check the connections from the battery to circuit board?

Merls | I changed to a new battery, looked at the connections, nothing visually wrong. Anyway, this thread isn't about my problems. |

The other day I was walking around the house looking for my glasses and realized I was holding them in my left hand.

nevermind I am not plugged in | One of the guitarists in my former band did that classic twice in a row:
"***? No sound?"
"Maybe you should try plugging in?"
"Ah, OK... ... ... ***?"
"Maybe you should try turning on your amp?"
"Ah, OK."
Gotta love guitarists.

I was gettin really upset cause I thought somethin was wrong with my bass so I just flopped on an old set just to see if it was the strings, lo and behold no more buzzyness |

Then there was the time I had my bass going to the first effect in my loop, the last effect to the send, and then the return to the input on the amp *L* stood there for 20 minutes scratching my head...
Then there was the time I forgot to plug in my Reverb to AC power... it's a vintage Fender, so no 9 volt back-up...
