dbourke7 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi all. Have been using my G50 wireless with guitar for many years, on weekend i used it in another band plugged into a bass guitar. Sound was fine, however it used lots of batteries for the night. Started with a fresh set of batteries in transmitter, display on body pack indicated 8 hours of runtime remaining, however at end of 1st set was indicating low battery. Replaced battery for 2nd set and the same thing occurred. Wondering if this is a common occurrence using these for bass guitars, or if it has something to do with the bass having active pickups, or if it could have just been a dud pack of batteries. Used it the following night back in guitar and got through entire night on single set of batteries, still showing more than 4 hours remaining. Anyone else experienced a similar scenario?

phil_m Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Sounds like a bad set of batteries to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yes, what phil_m said. Active pick-ups at a different supply voltage can also have an affect. An intermittent solder point allowing voltage bleed-off is a possibility. In this case should be taken to an authorized service center for that, lots of very small parts on the board you don't want to mess with.
