I'm sure you know that though.
Report back when you get your battery cap replaced. I am expecting a good report.  |
I will keep you guys posted..
This maybe a silly question.
Shouldn't I solder the wires that I splice together? Is there anything I should disconnect before I solder the wires together? Besides the obvious ..not having the guitar plugged into the amp
Ken S. - Thanks for your time on the phone I really appreciated that! I definitely want you to service my bass sometime soon. The next time I'm in DC or Philli I will try to set something up for sure.
After talking with Ken today.. I think he made a good point..this bass probably sat around for a long time without being played with a battery in it maybe for years. This is a 2000 model and its like bran new the guy that sold it said it came from his "vault" and was originally purchased for his collection.
