Why has shielding made my bass go quiet? I mean like, no noise at all

Just swapped out my old pup for a s/hand Bareknuckled P '58 pup.  While I was at it I used copper sheet to line the cavity and the pickguard. Result:  silence.

I either can't get any response from the pup poles by tapping them, or get a response from one of the two pup halves if I lift the pots out of the cavity. And even if I get a tap from touching the pole with a screwdriver, putting a string over it at tension elicits no response at all.

Trouble is I have next to no idea about electrons and certainly don't own a multmeter. Which I admit is daft, then, trying to do an electron job.
