Sounds a lot like a battery problem ... but if not .... the active electronics might be the issue, how about the input jack?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299694 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299605 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:15:45 +0000
#1: Take it to the shop.

#2: Start replacing parts. The guys here will have opinions on which one(s) to try first.

#3: Find a trouble shooting guide, arm yourself with a electronics meter (I forget the proper name for it) and go through a diagnostics regimen.

I've never had one flat out die without it being a switch being uber-sensitive or a cable being faulty. However, I've only been playing for a little over 4 years. There's lots more in store for me, to be sure.

Some of those EMG setups come with additional little doo-hickies on the inside. I know the David Gilmour set comes with 2 or 3 additional components. Option #2 could become way expensive.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299605 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299593 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:43:42 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance spammydodger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299593 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299592 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:38:32 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-299592 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bass-guitar-gone-dead/#post-32494 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:17:46 +0000 just stopped working during mid playing just get like a wet fart sound like batteries have died.
