Hello, - I just purchased a Geddy Lee used and noticed it has a battery compartment located on the back. Were any Geddys made with active pickups? Also, how do I tell wood type. I want to ensure it is alder not poplar. Lastly, on the battery compartments, which side is positive and which side is negative? It is hard to tell with just a flat metal contact on the bottom. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

hi.
As far as the battery compartment is concerened , it may suggest that the last owner of the bass did ( or may have tried ) install a preamp,and as far as pickups The Geddy Lee bass came with regular (socalled) Vintage single coil pickups,not active pickups
Also the body is made of Alder,but with that being said,poplar,tulipwood,and Alder are pretty much 1 n- the same.
