I guess if you are not keen/competant, then the shop you purchased it from ( who you need to approach in the first instance anyway) should be able to do the swap for you. I'm now waiting for my module to come through and will fit it myself.[/quote] Stagg sent some new electronic bits to the place I bought mine from, however, that didn't seem to solve the battery (lack of) life problem so they got the whole instrument replaced. The new one has a much better battery life - now measured in months rather than minutes - but it also has a much more bass guitar sound than the old one so I'm not entirely sure I like it as much. I suspect this is a much to do with the strings as anything else, so I'm saving up for some replacements...

Having made some enquiries (thanks go to Tim at Zings), it is, apparently, a known fault with the electronics on some basses. Stagg will replace them free of charge, and you can either take it back to your supplier for them to get the parts and change the bits or they can send it back to the UK wholesaler. I'm in the process of getting mine sorted, so I'll let you know how I get on when it's back.
