battery compartment corrosion help


Recommended Posts

so i was in practice a few hours ago and my bass ( mm bongo 6) started changing volume and then eventually died. seemed like the battery was dying but i only hcanged both of them a few weeks prior possibly with sweaty hands... noticed one of the battery compartments has green corrosion around the edges(around 50% of the part the battery contacts) i stripped an instrument cable and put some balled up wire in the contact point and it works ok but i have a gig tomorrow and i use a weird bass i wont have an easy time finding a replacement if anything goes wrong.

what should i do short term and long term?
ill email musicman and see if theyll send me a new part anyway and im happy enough putting it in.

if im wrong about this being just some sweat over a few weeks what would have caused this?
any help appreciated, cheers.
