[musictlk] 9volt battery in a bass guitar.

[Cameron]

Hi.  if you are going into an amp, then you don't need a DI box.  If you are
going direct into a pa mixer, then it would be a good idea to use one.

Also, on your bass amp, if you have two inputs, then one is most likely for
passive pickups and the other for active pickups.  Make sure you plug into
the proper input.

Whether you're using active or passive pickups, it's good to stay twenty
feet or less regarding an instrument cable.  If you need to go longer than
that, then I'd go with a wireless system.

Cameron.

Now
that brings me to another point.
I was told by our drumber who is basically our tech guy. He likes to dig in
and learn all about the pro audio gear and all that.
He tels me that we want to stay shorter than 19 feet for guitar cord because
after that you start to loos signal.
Now with my bass having powered pickups, can I run a longer cord if need be
to reach the board and if so how long can I go. Also he was talking about
using a D I box which I now forgot what that even means . do I not need that
since I have powered pickups?
also at this point we are running it through a passive some thing or
another. sorry I don't know what it is called but the line that I run my
bass throu is "passive"
 I realize that these questions will probably raise more questions than
answers but there you have it.
I wonder if Ibanez has any where on line that I could get a real education
about this bass and how to work with amps and all that.
I don't have a manual for it.

Robert

Hi Robert
The battery runs your pick-ups from how you describe your bass.  Batteries
can also be placed inside guitars to run pre-amps as are many acoustic
guitars.  Obviously these batteries depend on how much you play but I get
about six months out of a battery in my acoustic.  Be sure to turn the
guitar off though when you are done to keep from depleting the battery.
