If the battery positioning is a problem, a few setup tricks will allow you to have *no* batteries in the guitars - using a stereo cable and input jack allows you to power the guitars remotely with either console phantom power or a battery box. I'll draw something up if you're interested.

So I would simply have to switch out the input jack and use a new cable? Does this in any way affect the recorded tone? I could see where using a battery box would be nice (only have to pay for two batts at a time instead of four).
Also, all bass pups are rated from EMG to handle 27V, but they say the difference between 18V and 27V is not nearly as dramatic as 9V to 18V. I'll stick with what I've got. But, if I switched the basses as per what you say, I could build an 18V and 27V battery box. Hmm.... the idea seems to be interesting.
