My Battery?

[KingBlue]

Hey Yo everybody, this is my first post so I give a big hello to everyone. My real reason for this topic is my new bass and it's a zombie. ok its not a zombie its a Ibanez GSR, I bought it used 2 weeks ago and im loving it. But they told me when I bought it I'll have to replace the battery every now and then.

Yesterday I left it plugged in all night and i thought i should change the battery this morning and, after prying the plastic cover off that was labeled "battery" there was no battery! I peered into the other compartment which was unlabled and there was no room for a battery, it looked like computer stuff (wires and chips, all that deal). So im asking you guys whats the deal? Should i take this thing back or leave it just as it is, a bass zombie.

All that stuff you saw was the preamp. Put a fresh battery in,and play away,and always unplug it when not in use to keep from draining the battery.

sounds like some kind of wiring problem, I'd take it back to the store and get them to have a look at it, maybe get a different one of the same model.

And in case your wondering you dont have to change a battery often at all. I've had the battery in my esp since the end of december, and I've dont a lot of practice.

Im sorry i should have elaborated more. When i opened the compartment labeled battery there was room for a battery but nothing to put it in/on. It was just a hallow compartment.

Oh! and i bought the bass used do you think the guy before me did something?

It sounds like it was rewired to be passive and your not using the pre-amp. Get your money back.
