Ernie ball issue

[Tyler Shannon]

Hello,
I have an Ernie ball music man I bought back in 2009. I pretty much only play it at church on sundays. Recently if I hit the top of the bass..above he pickups..all my sound goes out. I hit it again..and the sound comes back. I took out the electronics and pickups..everything looks fine. Anyone have an idea on what would cause the music to short out?

sometimes the metal connectors in the battery compartment get bent so they dont make contact with the poles on the battery. i would start by checking that first

if that fails, call customer service

hth!

Yes. Contact Customer service. Though, if I had to guess, I would check the Battry -> Battery Box contacts. I could see a physical jolt breaking a connection if the battery isn't firmly pressing against the battery box contacts.

Edit: Scooped by 1 minute!

this is a dumb question, but did you change cables?
