How do you Power your bass??

[rockr4Christ]

Jet fuel, mainly. Sometimes diesel if I can afford it.

99% percent of "powered" basses use 9V batteries. There are a few exceptions.

My Deluxe Jazz uses a nine volt, but it's upgradeable to 18 volts. Haven't looked inside the battery compartment of my Ibanez SR506 yet.

yeah you listened! hahaha



what about those who use common power, like sliced ham and peanut butter and gouda cheese?

There are other means? I didn't know that.

And what's with the poll? Is that necessary?

If one plays outdoor gigs, one may consider eco-friendly sources light sun-cells and wind generated current

There's been a breach! Somebody let one of the potheads from OT into the Basses forum!

its quite good, only when its still in date. wavy, good. really cuts the cheese.i like it. but it smells after a few weeks ago.

i once tried to put a whole ham in it and it kept oinking at me.

my ampeg 810 didn't particularly like that....

 

[scary bill]

Actually 1 9V that's hidden inside the bass. No one even knows its there.

WHAT?!?!?!?!? are the portugese planning this to attack us at a later date? is it part of a plan!/ OH NO!!!

I think filling the electronics compartment with cottage cheese is the best way to go. Then allow a sheep to defecate on your face. It should give a vintage 70's jazz tone.

isn't really cheese?

btw, i don't find it 70's vintage. i get a good funk slap out of it though.
