Hi! Guys, I have an ibanez sr600. However today I found it to have some sort of static noise when the treble is tuned up. I'm really not looking to spend $500 hkd ( that is around 65 usd) to fix it! Any ideas? Thanks,

Thanks osonu! I read the book and i think i know what i should do now. I don't like these things about my bass : it sounds like a j bass while its a p bass (the sound is so thin) and it's a squier.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies guys! I really appreciate it! Forgot to mention, the strings of the bass rings whenever I play the other strings. For example, when i play the G string, the D and A string rings. Is it common? Do I have to mute them or it this a problem with the strings? Also...
