Members NinjaRaf Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 My bass player does the same thing, changes his battery every show. I keep telling he is wasting batteries but he doesn't believe me And sure enough, the first thing he said after the show last night was " I TOLD YOU to change batteries every gig" I was like "dude, it is a new guitar..." Yeah, his argument is invalid in this situation. It really is a waste. Justin changes his wireless batteries too lol. My wireless has a thing on it that tells you when the batteries are gonna die, so I change them accordingly. I just got my EMGs in like september, with brand new battery, so I probably wont even consider changing it until september haha. I almost did a month or so ago, though. We were at practice, and my tone was sounding much weaker than normal...Im thinking {censored}ING BATTERY, REALLY, ITS STILL NEW!!! I walk over to my bag that has batteries in it...happen to see my FS while walking over there. Turned out that Shane had stepped on the crunch channel button...was on the wrong channel. Switched back to makoplex...BAM...tone had returned to the power that I expected . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OceansBetweenUs Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've been playing my passive guitars a lot lately - and my NS-2 is out of commission. Definitely makes me like the super-quiet/nearly feedbackless EMG's a lot more. I love the 85 in neck I'm currently rocking, it slays for rythm stuff. But the cleans are 'meh'. Might try running 60n/85b soon. Anyone tried that combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 Might try running 60n/85b soon. Anyone tried that combo? Yes, my amber Hamer has that set up. I like it but I prefer the 81 in the bridge. The 60n is great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TravM Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 How often do you play out? Sounds like you're throwing out a lot of batteries with 99% of their life left, since a set of EMG's will run for about a thousand hours on a typical 9 volt battery. d'oh! Uh we play 2-4 shows a week most months... Im not going to change my batteries as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
