I know that works, but I understand the active electronics part can contribute extra noise and interfere with effects you might try to use. Thanks for answering. I'm just being curious about it and if it would effect things to just remove the battery.

| i've never removed my batteries...my warwick does not buzz at all..(even with effects) (including distortion)...i don't know enough about basses (or electronics for that matter) to tell you what to do....you could buy another guitar or new pickups...other than that i don't know. |
