[b]UPDATE:[/b] I've just heard back from the folks at Fender about this repair, and it turns out that the problem is.... [i]drumroll please[/i]... a faulty jack socket!

As suspected it's permanently switched on; hence the constant battery drain. I'm actually relieved it's not a fault with the pre-amp and all perfectly fixable.

Thumbs up to Fender and the people at GuitarGuitar for handling this so well :) I'm very pleased with the service so far.

Good news..! A simple fix, then. I presume you won't be modifying, as kindly suggested above..? ;)

Haha, no! I wouldn't wish to mod this bass any more than I'd attempt to remove my own tonsils :D

That's not to say I haven't tinkered with other instruments. Just that this one won't be going under the knife.
