  • Hive mind help please - have had my new sire p7 v2 bass for 3 weeks now. Tonight when switching to active mode it went completely mute - no sound at all. On passive mode it’s fine but inexplicably the active mode isn’t working at all.

    Am I right in assuming this is likely down to faulty wiring rather than battery gone/anything else?

    Am going to call Andertons tomorrow but am a bit worried/irritated/anxious.

  • I'd definitely check the battery first. I have an active bass, and no sound comes out when the battery is dead. I think that on basses where you can switch the 'active' bit off, everything works normally with a dead battery in passive mode.

    Have you been leaving it plugged in when you're not playing? Usually plugging in a cable switches the bass on, so leaving the cable in drains the battery.
