What to do with Battery Slot? (Going from Active to Passive)

[KreepyTeach]

After 2 years, I'm taking EMGs out of my Jackson, I'm replacing them with DiMarzios, but what do I do with my empty battery slot?
I'm still gonna do 4 pots and switch like a Ric. I thought of using it to run a stereo jack? Maybe a comp or boost circuit I can put under the pickguard.

Any ideas?

leave it as is. it's a nice stash to store your weed

I keep a backup battery in there. You never know when you’ll need one for a pedal, stud finder, or to stop a persistent smoke detector.

You could use the box route to contain some switch wiring if it is in a good location to be drilled through/not in your way on the front.

Custom pick holder?

Awkward weed container?

The world is your oyster!

all good suggestions --- no downsides....i'll be installing battery boxes in all of my passives!

From experience: keep a fresh battery in there for when a fellow band member has an emergency need of one.

Is this a real question?

Stuff it with those wet naps you get from BBQ joints. Those are handy..

Stash your LSD.

Are you also removing your active EQ?

I like to keep meats and cheeses in there to feed the drummer when they do a good job.

With that thinking, the OP should add a second battery compartment to keep a pair of AA's in.

Enlarge it for spare beer.

Good grief, we all think alike!!!

My first thought was condom stash... but ha ha, we're all bass players, it would never get used.

Leave it empty; you now have a chambered bass.

Coin holder

Put some Locator device in there in case it gets stolen.
