Hi, @PaulThePlug, thanks for the reply. Wiring is all factory standard apart from whatever came with the pickups.

Hey, @jonno1981, thanks for the reply and, yes. It's the J pickup at the bridge. Buzz starts at 50% blend and increases as I go all the way over to the J. It sounds like a cut and boost. Both dials at are 50% in the recording. Boosting bass and cutting treble reduces the buzz.

Hey, everyone I'm hoping I can get some advice about the freshly installed pickups on my bass. Here's the situation: I ordered a set of The Duke PJ pickups from Tonerider and had them professionally installed along with a pro setup and a Graphtec nut at the local custom shop. The technician called me and said that there was a buzz coming from one of the pickups because it was too hot for the built-in preamp. It's listed as "Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-band EQ". He tried throwing a resistor on the pickup to cool it off, but it didn't make any difference. I brought it home and did a few minutes of testing and it seems that with the blend knob all the way up I'm getting a pretty bad buzz. I've attached a recording if that helps - Open E string moving the blend knob from 100% right to 100% left. Here are my questions: 1) I'm considering an Artec SE2 preamp because it's cheap. Any good? 2) Apparently I can make the bass passive, but it'll take just as much effort on the part of the technician to do this. Pros and cons here? 3) Could it be something else I've overlooked? Thanks in advance, looking forward to any advice anyone can share Attached a photo of her with my guitar too, because I think they make a cute couple. Pickup Blend Noise.m4a

Hey, everyone! Long-time reader, first-time poster. I'm Brim, I recently bought an Ibanez SRMD200 (medium scale). She's Candy Apple Red and plugged into a NUX 8BT when not plugged directly into my PC. I'm really new to bass and hoping to get some advice from more experienced players. Cheers
