Frank Blank Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I think the battery is going in my preamp. I was alerted to this by the fact that it appeared to begin picking up radio signals. I thought someone had slipped acid in my Earl Grey. Thinking I’d made some schoolboy error or had actually entered the Twilight Zone, I tentatively googled it and it turns out it’s a thing, is it a thing anyone on here has experienced? I assumed it was the battery because if I unplugged the bass for a while it stopped and was ok on initially plugging it in again but soon returned.

itu Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Battery change is in need. If you have a DMM, it might be feasible to measure the voltage now. When you put the new in, write the month and year to the battery. Then you will see the approximate battery lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
