I've tried 3 different pickups and they all do it :/ hmmm I'll try that though man, thanks

Laney RB9 with two RB410 cabs. Tried it in my little practice amp too and it still buzzes. Tried it in all the rooms in the house, still buzzing. None of my other 5 basses do it, so it can't be the house wiring :/ I'm completely stumped. Could it be my soldering, maybe? Thanks again for this man

Just tried that.. still buzzing :/ I really can't figure out what's causing the buzzing. I've tried 3 different sets of pickups, 4 different pots, 2 different amps, 6 different leads, 3 different jacks and rewired the inside about 8 times. Really stressing me out. I'm about to buy one of those...

The entier cavity is shielded with copper tape (even the pickup route is) Thats something I didn't think about! Thanks a lot! Would something like plumbing tape do the job? I think the sharp solder would pierce the paper Thanks again

Thanks a lot guys, I'll try those :)

Yeah volume works fine; the bass seems to be really loud for a passive bass too. Will do, cheers guys!

Thanks for the quick reply! Everything is grounded, yeah. I have no idea what it could be. Beggining to think it could be a sheilding issue, possibly?

If I add a ground 'lug' like on the Fender schematics would that solve the problem do you guys think? Cheers

Warning: total noob here. Today I finished building my first custom bass, and I love it. Just one problem though, whenever I'm not touching the strings (or any other metal part of the bass for that matter) the amp buzzes? If I touch a pole piece in the pickups the buzz gets louder. Also, if I...
