Thunderbird Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hi All I want to shield my pickguard and control cavity would this stuff be suitable?

KiOgon Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yes ideal - you can get wider tape or even sheets - less joins 1m would do a P bass I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just to clarify to I cover the whole inside of the control cavity ie just stick the shielding over the wood and everywhere inside ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 yup. If you want to be [i]really[/i] thorough I'd do the pickup cavities as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Probably need to solder that stuff, but you don't need to do whole seals just enough its all electrically connected, I usually do a smear of solder where three pieces meet.

yorks5stringer Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 [i]Or buy the stuff with conductive adhesive, then you don't need to solder at the joints....![/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I used some aluminium tape that I found in Aldi a couple of months ago - Aluminium is really good at magnetic shielding too! It's supposed to be for pipes or gutters or something of that ilk, but it's really good at bass cavities as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I recently used that seller. The delivery took 3 days, not one, but it was free delivery so you can't complain really. They do copper tape with conductive adhesive for £4 for 4 metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
