All you kids who complain that the batteries die fast are completely wrong*: My batteries are original, from 4.7 years ago. And they worked fine. Bradley * This is meant with my normal level of cheekiness. They did work fine, but I never play on battery. There were a few moments of trepidation between the "oh, I don't have the power supply", and "hey, the batteries work!" I should probably add that I never run on batteries. I should probably take them out so they don't leak. I should get a pony**. ** I really like Terry Pratchett*** *** His footnotes are the best part of his books. I was disappointed in _The Long Earth_ for this reason. hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 1133 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 9:37 am:    This is just one reason why every musician should carry a screwdriver and a package of 9 volt batteries. It's saved me and my buddies more than once. tubeperson Advanced Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 344 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 9:50 am:    Make sure to pack each bass you take to gig with the tools mentioned above, plus the correct truss rod adjustment tool(s) and bridge adjustment wrench(es). For you Fender players out there, the "FatFinger" for each bass may also make sense. And don't forget an extra set of strings while you are at it. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5203 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 10:55 am:    Yes, Bradley. You should definitely go for the pony. Free fertilizer!
