Martin Herrick will do this for you but it can cost around £40. He's got a few on eBay at the moment. https://www.herrickpickups.com/

Mussel Bound - Spandau Ballet

First time I picked up my SS Ray it felt like it was playing itself - remember those days? - days when playing was effortless, days before playing became physically strenuous - age does that - I joke with my aging friends that the MOT on this body has run out and it requires fixing up. Bad back? Got one...arthritis - yep, that too. Father Time conspires to take away that which we have always relied on. If a short scale bass allows us to cheat Father Time for a short while then so be it - I'll take any time or anything that allows me to keep playing.

Ooo Baby Baby - Smokey Robinson

I don't ...please enlighten me at least

I sleep to dream - H2O

Father and son reunion - Paul Simon

Sizzlin hot - Slave

If you ever want to trade this for a kidney or liver let me know. Lots of students locally...I'm sure that I can bop one of them on the head.

Don't stop - Fleetwood Mac

Brother can you spare a dime - George Michael

Say, say, say - Jackson and McCartney

None of this feels familiar of any of the three that I have owned. Your issue sounds like an earthing problem to me but I am far from an expert. I'm sure that a more learned opinion can be found amongst the BC membership. Hope that the issue doesn't impact on your enjoyment of what, IMO, is a very versatile bass.

Similar to the Sterling Mini

Member @dutchwife lives in Japan.... I'm sure he could be persuaded to pass things along for a small fee.
