If anyone out there has a Schecter studio 5 bass how long do the 2 9-volt batteries last (hours)? I attempted to look on their website but found nothing of any help. I typically change mine out every month, but if I could save a few bucks by holding out a bit that would be great. Thanks and God bless!
 
If you unplug your bass when not playing you should be able to get 3-6 months out of a set of batteries.

Unless of course you're playing 4-6 hours a day, every day.

(You'll know when the batteries are dieing... low end will start to distort. You can also give the batteries the tongue test if for no reason other than simple enjoyment)
 
jimmyfwl,

I got a lefty studio 5 in May, so am still using the original pair of 9Vs. Why not email their tech support? I got a quick reply when I did concerning an owners manual.

All my active basses have almost never had their batteries die on them. Including my esp basses, jaguar, mm sub. The only bass that has consistently died on me is my traben chaos 5. Just never leave them plugged in after you play, should definitely help to save 9vs, which is good since they are pretty expensive.
