Question ESP LTD F415 noisy electronics

Sign in to disble this ad
I recently bought an ESP LTD F415. I love the way it plays and sounds except for one really big problem. The electronics are NOISY! Strange as this sounds, it is worse on certain notes. It is the worst on a B, any octave. It just builds up static, spreading to any other notes I play until I stop playing and damp the strings out. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Edit: It has EMG 40DC active pickups w/ EMG B64 3-band active EQ.

I have the same bass, from 2009. I have had no problems like that. Sounds like something's wrong with it.

Maybe look and see if a connection is loose. Perhaps one of the quick connect things is loose? Or other loose wire.

Thanks darkstorm. I figured out that the problem is the input jack.
