I was trying to fix up a bass for the sons band. It has a set of EMG PJ bass pickups.
There was some dual batterie thing in there a couple pots missing and pretty dead.
So Ive fought it a few hours yesterday and got some life and noise from it using a schematic from online and just removing all pots except one for volume /off.
Tonight, the second try, cleaning up the soldering and mess of wires and kept having issues (rarely do this stuff).
I finally had it together working and as I played it the batteries died.
So I removed the batteries and turned up the amp and the bass seems to play fine without the batteries?
Is this normal? Im glad because everyone hates the batteries because no one pays attention and they die at the wrong time.
Looking up the pickups they look like $179 PJ Set. But I dont read anything about them working as Active or Passive?
Not complaining!
