Hi, this is my first post here. I've been playing Stingrays since 1993 and have owned 8 of them over the years. I recently purchased a used Stingray 5 Special and have been experiencing battery drain even while the bass is unplugged. I brought it to my tech who bent the jack contact for the battery back a little. I can see that it is not touching and I've confirmed this with a multimeter. Is there another reason the battery won't disconnect other than the jack? Maybe I'm not testing it right with the multimeter. I planned on having my tech replace the jack anyway but the part hadn't arrived and we just tried to repair what we had. I will be bringing the bass back to my tech soon and wanted to try to do a little research for him. Thanks for any help in advance.
