jakenewmanbass Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) I have 3 basses 2 in very regular use. I have 2 pick ups both in regular use. One is an Underwood, the other an Accusound. The basses are an 1880 blockless wonder, an early 1900 Stuttgart region flatback and a cheapo ply bass that lives in the band van. On the cheapo and the stuttgart both pick ups work fine, but on the 1880 there is a very persistent G (therfore prob earth) Hummmmmm, It's driving me mad, it's not that loud but enough to piss me off, has anyone got any ideas???

Have a word with Howard (Bassdoc). He knows everything Edited June 24, 2009 by rslaing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'd take that as a sign that a wire isn't as attached as it should be...usually where it "joins" the pickup element. Possibly fixable, but may just happen again later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
