[musictlk] 9volt battery in a bass guitar.

[Andrew English (paper music)]

That is a power battery for active pickups.
The battery should last quite awhile if you don't leave the guitar plugged 
in. The one in my 12-string lasts over 6 months and I play a lot. Unplug the 
audio cord from the guitar to keep the battery from draining when you're not 
playing.
