I just applied the heat to the metal “U” and dropped in the solder on the actual metal “U”… i was also worried about melting the board, but it worked out pretty well and the bass sounds amazing!

Goods news for my Sadowsky. Seems to be an intermittent problem with my Mesa TT800. At least warrantied.
My new Sadowsky (Ger.) metroline limited edition 2020. Fit and finish amazing! Neck profile is buttery smooth 
the weight comes in at a blessing 8.2lbs. This bass certainly feels like an NYC Sadowsky!!

The finishes on these new German metrolines look phenomenal!
That’s a beautiful bass. Whale Blueburst.. awesome.My new Sadowsky (Ger.) metroline limited edition 2020. Fit and finish amazing! Neck profile is buttery smooth
I'd try another battery - usually using Duracell has never surprised me -.
If the problem occurs again with another one, the preamp could have some issue. I had many times troubles with the moving/not fixed well circuits onboard on other active instruments, but not my Sado so far.
If you tested fully charged, not surely will be full plugged in after longer period. I have a same symptom with my car's key.
My wife couldn't open the car with button, I took out and tested the battery and it was OK. One month later (without using it, it is the second/spare key) the key just didn't work again. Then I throw out that battery and changed for a fresh one. It has to be changed because the factory alarm cannot disengaged without the remote control key...
Thanks. I will , but seem to be narrowing down to possible faulty gain toggle on tt800. Nothing proven yet. More will be revealed.
Check the jack is making a good battery contact when inserted too, it could be poor contact where the battery is switch on/off at the jack socket.

Some “Modern Love” at this morning’s services. First live outing with the 5-24 after putting Blue Label flats on it. Holy Schmoly, what great finger style tone...wish I had done it sooner! I broke in the church’s new bass amp also, it’s a used BA115HP that worked pretty well and enabled me to take back possession of the B100R I was loaning them. All in all, it was a pretty decent Sunday morning.
Interesting, I've been wondering about that. Is that a German Metro? Looks great, @Bergerman !
