[musictlk] 9volt battery in a bass guitar.

[Andrew English (paper music)]

Anything longer than a 25 foot cord is too long. If you need to go to the 
back of the room to the board, you need a snake. Just because you have an 
active D/I doesn't change that. Also, two 12-foot cords linked together 
doesn't count. The connection will cause noise. -Andy
