Seriously though, it's gotta be the battery. Guaranteeing that you know how to use an amp, and don't have your gain set too high, theres nothing else that it could possibly be!
+1 - My bet is that he swapped it with another used, nearly dead battery when testing.
Hehe, probably.
Or maybe he swapped it with a new one, which solved his problem, but to make himself not look like such a bozo he's saying that it's not a battery issue. 
I smell a new round of replies coming...
Then: "Try a battery"
Now: "Try a NEW battery"
This thread is very powerful...it will never die.

Limes give you more bite.
Plus, they're more compact.
I've used both, and to be totally honest...I cannot hear a discernible difference. But I don't proclaim to be one of those guys with so-called "golden ears" who say they could listen to a bass track in a song & tell you whether it was a lemon or a potato in there. Some people are so full of it...

Never say never! His battery died didn't it.
I personally prefer to use the potato in my bass. Research shows that the potato is actually 30% funnier then the lemon or lime.I've used both, and to be totally honest...I cannot hear a discernible difference.

I boil my batteries when they die. Gives them that extra edge for just a few more days until I can afford a new one.
It may just need an oil change and washer fluid. You've gotta have the battery clip lubed properly! 
Hold on, who is this guy? Mikey do you even know what you're talking about? I think we need a professional opinion here, until then mate, stop with the jokes. This is serious.
You are right, I was way out of line, what was I thinking? Damn this stupid stupid brain of mine.Hold on, who is this guy? Mikey do you even know what you're talking about? I think we need a professional opinion here, until then mate, stop with the jokes. This is serious.
Just spoke with Marcus Miller and he said change the battery. I guess you were right.
O.K. I've been watching this post from time to time for a few days now... Ahem...
I can't believe that after a couple of hundred posts punkindrublic shows up and says that he has already tried that! (Yes the battery...)
Please someone kill this post!
It's dead, deceased, no more, over, been there, history, sleeping with the fishes, worm food, past omega, beyond, departed, lifeless, late, no more, buried, done with, nailed to the wall....
Just make it stop! Ha!
I'm alot better now...

I was right? Wow!
It was like I heard this voice inside my head that told me that it must be the battery. Divine inspiration maybe?
