I have a HUGE problem and need help asap!!!

[omeany2]

I'd change the strings.

 

[omeany2]

And then the battery...

What you need to do is purchase a Wishbass. It is so awesome it will fix all your problems! But I think you'll still have to change the Wishbass battery too?

 

[suchoski91]

obviously, everyone is wrong

what you need to do is turn every knob on your bass all the way up, turn all the knobs on your amp all the way up, and be SURE to plug the head into a 50 Watt or smaller cab and play as hard as you can.

but if that doesn't work.... battery

 

[NKUSigEp]

I think you should change the battery.

What kind of finish does your bass have on it? I've heard a nitro finish will cause problems like this. Also, you always need to use a leather strap instead of a nylon strap if you want "good tone" IMOH IIRC

edit: my bass runs on hydrogen

Holy Wow!!

i think you need one or two of these

I don't think that this has been covered by anyone yet. There's a good chance that you may need to replace your battery.
You will find it in your bass. It is rectangular in shape and is made of metal.
Please do not confuse it with your bridge.

Since this thread is almost a year old, I would imagine he's probably figured out it was the battery.

I thought hydrogen robbed a bass of a lot of its low end
Mine runs on nuclear energy. my second pair of arms thats starting to sprout from my shoulderblades could act as the strap and hold the bass up!! ooh maybe arms will give even better tonality than leather straps !!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of another thread about licking 9volt batteries to test them...

 

[Baird6869]

How do you recharge the battery in a bass?

 

[Honk'n_down-low]

B A T T E R Y - Yeah Yeah that's the ticket! Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk

 

[nutterisgo]

I think its best put from the boys from metallica.

That whole statement is just be incredibly redundant

Isn't that what TalkBass is anyway?

Don't you have to be at least pretty weird, just to BE a bass player?

no

im not weird
