hiss/buzz/noise that goes away when my bass is at certain angles.

[StuFordBass]

So i've got a bass that makes a little high pitches hiss or buzz or whatever, but when the bass is perpindicular to the floor (like if you stuck the body against a wall) it goes away. Is this a sheilding issue or something?

Is it curable, or do i just need to lose weight until my bass can rest flat on me?

Edit: Problem fixed, it was due to faulty wiring in my 120 year old house. It would only hiss when I was using a certain circuit in the house. The hum from touching the pickups was fixed by reconnecting a ground wire.

i can get it to minimal by turning down the treb on my OBP2 but, i want that treble, and if i hold the bass just right there is no noise, even with full treble boost.

theres also a hum when you touch the pole-pieces.

should i just swap out the basslines pickups for some NS4JV's and hope they get wired right?

It is picking up noise from a particular source, and when you hold it "just right" it is at the position of least sensitivity to that source. In my office/studio my computer radiates like crazy (most do) and my single-coil basses are very sensitive to the position relative to the computer.

If your noise is highly positional (i.e. changes based on which direction your bass is pointing in space) I'd say that you need to shield that sucker!

There's a truly awesome shielding thread at the top of this forum. I followed it with great results.
