An easy way to test battery drain (current flow) without messing with the batteries (if you have a stereo TRS cable): plug cable into bass and measure mA (current) between ring and sleeve at exposed end of cable. The meter completes the circuit that is still open when the TRS end is inserted...

I just estimated battery life by taking the given estimate of 500 mAh (milliamp hours) for a new alkaline battery being discharged at a fairly low rate (2.5 mA or 2.24 mA is still a fairly low current flow when considering discharging the battery) and then dividing that life expectancy by the...

Hi all - I just posted the following under the Sire Marcus Miller V7 thread, but figured maybe I should start another thread on the same subject but for people who have a V3 (even thought the preamps are supposed to be the same). Here is what I posted: I just purchased a Sire Marcus Miller V3...

I just purchased a Sire Marcus Miller V3, and I am wondering about the battery drain. Could anybody check on the current draw of their Sire bass by doing the following: plug in a TRS cable and measure with a multimeter between the ring and sleeve of the exposed end using the DC amps setting on...
