Reply With QuoteIf Gene Simmons had one of these he'd be stylin' all the way like his buddy Ace. An exploding fire bass. So cool!
I've never heard of a 9 volt battery causing a fire in anything. Are you hoodwinking us? It's not April anymore.

**Ibanez Bass Recall!!!**
If you own a recent Ibanez Bass, follow the link below to the recall site. There is a fire hazard in certain bass guitars made in 2005 and 2006.

That isn't a hoodwink Spud, it's the real deal. The CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) is a government agency (as the dot GOV in the URL will identify). They say that this can cause a potetial fire hazard, though to date, no one has been hurt.
A fire, any fire, needs three things; ignition (the battery box), fuel (the kiln-dried wood body), and oxygen (the air you're suckin' in right now). I've seen a number of fires (over twenty-five) that started with just three more volts, so I find it plausible that a fire could start off of nine.

While I agree that a 9 volt battery is so wimpy that it can hardly start a fire, this is for real.
