Where to solder ground on Aguilar pre installation?

Sign in to disble this ad
Question. I've installed the aguilar OBP-1 in my Marcus bass, but, I have that common problem of when I take my hand's off my bass, it has that ground buzz, and when I touch a tone control pot or string's, it goes away. I've soldered the ground wire from the Aggie to the back of one of the pots (Bass pot). Is there a better place that would alleviate this problem, or at least lessen it?

FWIW:

TB search for star ground. Also FAQ probably has info. Seems Aggies ground the bridge also (check their site).
