Jazz Bass MIM with Noiseless pups HUMMM

netmics · #1 02-15-2011, 07:03 AM

Hello!!!!!!

I have a Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe active MIM 5 string with Noiseless pickups. When I get my hands close to the pickups or I touch them, they start to humm and it stops when I touch the strings or the bridge.

The bass cavity entire shielded with thick coper foil and the standard ground cables are connected to it.

Is this behavior normal for this type of pickups?? if not, what can I do to stop that humm??

Thanks!!!

Here a photo, enjoy!!!

Sounds like the ground got disconnected from the bridge...

I don't think that's the problem because when I touch the bridge the humm stops. Besides, in the shielding, I put a coper foil solded to the ground cable to have a better contact with the bridge.

Thanks for reply, though
