NickThomas Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Which model Jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM1 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi - it's the marcus miller signature jazz - thanks for the diagrams....there are two tone controls for active mode on the marcus miller jazz so I just wanted to check which wires were earths etc...there is buzzing from the output so it may be a loose connection. Completely random - bass was perfect one day, then the next day buzzing. Luckily, I've ahem, adopted another bass as a spare.

Hamster Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 IIRC they are prone to buzzing problems. There's a fix-it on the Talkbass wiki - [url="http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Silencing_the_Noise_on_a_Marcus_Miller_Signature_Bass"]http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Sil..._Signature_Bass[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM1 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi, resolved, thanks to all, a loose ground wire was the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
