I was noodling around on my Schecter 5 string yesterday,getting ready for today's
band practice when a couple of things freaked me out.
I was playing through the Zoom b21u fx box and my Kustom 15 watt amp.
After about half an hour , a frying noise occurred. (The Zoom was running on batteries)
I was praising my amp to people on this forum in the past , saying how powerful
it is and that it can handle the 5 string no problem.
As you can imagine,as I haven't used the amp for a long time I thought it was a blown speaker.
I changed the batteries on my Zoom as I thought that they would be flat.
Anyway , fast forward to this morning : We played most of he set. Then the frying noise returned.
I disconnected the pedal. No good.
Guess what it was: The battery on the Schecter . Active bass ! :blush:
As we were leaving,my bass fell out of the gig bag onto the floor
Not a mark on it. Second 'scrape' I've had with this,and for some reason it seems to be bulletproof.
So, I think after that I should keep it and improve my playing.
I am a plonker tho'
Has anyone got any similar tales to tell??
