Sorry you had such a bad experience with G&L bassbenj--thanks for your insight to dealing with these issues. I need to work more with passive mode and see what kinds of tones I can get out of it. Sounds like the shielding should help reduce hum. I'm going to contact G&L to see if I can get a...

this is my first post on this site! have lurked for a while and find the discussions really interesting. I also have a MIM Jazz that I'm contemplating upgrading but for a very specific reason that I haven't seen other's talking about so much here...the hum from the PUPs is bad. Depending on...
