My Bass Broke
Plugged in my bass guitar the other day. After a year or two of neglect. Only to find out something wasn't quite right. After investigating that it wasn't the leads I opened up the back of the guitar. The battery that powered the pick ups had leaked and completely dissolved the 9v battery connector. Instantly this prompted a purchase of a few spare 9v connectors. Once they had arrived I snipped off the old connector soldered them together (very badly I must admit). Now my bass is playing just like new, just don't tell anyone about what it looks like on the inside.
