    My active electronics gave away one day, so I started on passive. Replaced the battery, and behold!!! The electronics still don't work. It's not really the same type of story, but it is one.

    They still don't work?? Have u tried another active bass in your amp and spotted the differences?

    Try a brand new battery? Check the connections from the battery to circuit board?

    I changed to a new battery, looked at the connections, nothing visually wrong. Anyway, this thread isn't about my problems.

    One time at a gig, i was wondering why i was getting no sound out of my amp. after looking at my plugs, speaker cords, and eq and volume, i looked down to see, a guitar cord lying on the ground....

    Hey, don't feel bad. The other day I was walking around the house looking for my glasses and realized I was holding them in my left hand. :p

    One of the guitarists in my former band did that classic twice in a row:

    "***? No sound?"
    "Maybe you should try plugging in?"
    "Ah, OK... ... ... ***?"
    "Maybe you should try turning on your amp?"
    "Ah, OK."

    Gotta love guitarists. :D

    once i bought a cheap set of rotosounds and everytime I played the A string it made a weird buzz sound. I was gettin really upset cause I thought somethin was wrong with my bass so I just flopped on an old set just to see if it was the strings, lo and behold no more buzzyness

    *L* done that!!

    Then there was the time I had my bass going to the first effect in my loop, the last effect to the send, and then the return to the input on the amp *L* stood there for 20 minutes scratching my head...

    Then there was the time I forgot to plug in my Reverb to AC power... it's a vintage Fender, so no 9 volt back-up...
