Thunderbird Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi all I am having trouble with my bass being noisy I have just put a new wiring loom in it and re-shielded the cavities but I am getting like an annoying buzzy sound thet is really loud if I touch the pick ups which at first I thought was an earthing issue so I changed the bridge ground wire and I think the grounding is good as when I touch a string or another metal part of the bass at the same time as the pick up poles the noise goes so could my shielding be messing something up as in i touching the pots or jack socket thus causing the noise? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sounds like it could be a problem with the pickup earth, if the noise stops when you earth the pups off another metal part. If you replace your hand with a wire and run an earth from the pickup to the back of a pot it might cure it. Though I might be totally wrong, just an idea.
