    That new model is even more of a niche product than the JTV.

    The 6AA pack can work if you get good quality NiMh batteries and have a decent charger. You need two of them. You should get about 6 hours out of 2500mAH AA batteries. I have not every had any problems doing this with my old 500.

    It's fine to use it on the nut slot. If it's still sticking, you may need your nut worked on.

    If you are not using it you should not leave it in the guitar IMO. These batteries do die if they ever discharge too far. I think the Variax does discharge this battery at a very low rate when you are not using it. I think it will last a lot longer on the shelf.

    You have to download the software from Line6. It does not come with the guitar.
  6. Charlie_Watt
    The interface that you need should have come with your guitar. It has a USB cable on one end and a Cat5 cable that plugs into your guitar on the other end. You need that to connect your Variax to your PC.

    Doesn't sound right. Should sound great especially in standard tunings.
  8. Charlie_Watt
    I have several. One is a Fender cable that came with my Strat years ago. They are all good quality standard guitar cables.

    Original Variax also came with the power supply which needs the TRS cable. When running with battery, you do not need a TRS cable. I play all of my Variax's with a standard guitar cable with battery power. That is what the manual tells you to do.
  10. Charlie_Watt
    No it does not need the battery to play the mag pickups through the 1/4 inch cable.

    I think the new and old adapter are the same. I have no experience with the bass but I do have experience with older Variax and they do work with the newer adapter.

    The OP said he tried the shim trick. No excuse for a brand new guitar to not work out of the box. The Variax was designed to work on batteries with a standard guitar cable. The manual doesn't say differently! It does not come with a TRS cable!
  13. Charlie_Watt
    I am sorry but TRS is not necessary to work any Variax with an amp when running on the battery!

    Return it. IT sounds like it is defective. The modeling is activated by pushing down on the modeling knob. IT should then light up and the models should work.

    It's the software. WB HD only works with the JTV and newer guitars. The older ones need to use the old standard workbench software.
  16. Charlie_Watt
    If it's new, I would send it back for a replacement. It is defective. You should not have to send it to Line6 for repair if it's brand new.
  17. Charlie_Watt
    Sounds like it is defective! All 5 positions work exactly the same when you are in modeling mode. Each is a different model.
  18. Charlie_Watt
    Yes you have to remove the battery to charge it. Leave it in the charger overnight the first time. You should get four leds lit when you push the test button on the battery box when it's fully charged.
  19. Charlie_Watt
    Yup - too close to the strings.
  20. Charlie_Watt
    Using it is easy. Just charge the battery, plug in and play.
  21. Charlie_Watt
    By a 69S. They are very nice guitars!
  22. Charlie_Watt
    You want to search for a TRS cable.
  23. Charlie_Watt
    69 and 69S have same neck. Just different pickups.
  24. Charlie_Watt
    You can't do this without also reversing the Piezo sensor order or the modeling will be hosed up. That is possible if you know what you are doing and know your way around a soldering iron.

    The 500 acoustics come up on Ebay every so often. They are not that easy to find. Good luck though. I like mine. I have both a 500 and an acoustic.
