The DC jack is well out of the way, and the battery contacts are ok, so I'm baffled. Maybe an internal wire or solder joint is loose. UPDATE: it's working again now, and I've no idea why...!

Checked the battery contacts - fine - but not the DC jack, so I'll have a look now. Thanks.

Hi For some reason, I can no longer get my Microbass to work with 9V batteries. I haven't dropped/kicked/abused it and it worked perfectly well before. (It still works perfectly with mains voltage but is a little noisier that way.) The unit is so well designed that it's actually impossible...

Hi Fretster Thanks for your input. Each pickup cavity has a copper plate with foam above (which the pickups sit on) so the plates are definitely touching my foil - good news, hopefully! Here are 'work in progress' photos for you: I haven't touched the wiring yet, as you can probably guess.

Hi Vic Each pickup cavity has a copper grounding plate with foam on top, and these plates are now sitting on my foil shielding. So, I hope, that means that they are connected to the control cavity's ground lug where the three black grounding wires meet and are soldered together. Or do I need...

Many thanks for your thoughts, Vic. The pickup cavities with the foil now are a very tight fit. As I mentioned, I haven't yet unhooked any wiring but this seems to be essential just to get the shielding between cavities done. I guess if I'm doing that, I might as well change the wiring...

Hello As I haven't got a gig for a month, I decided to try shielding my 75RI Jazz. Yesterday, using copper tape with conductive adhesive backing, I've shielded the pickup and control cavities. I did this without disconnecting any wiring, and just worked around as best I could. I think I've...
