Amp humming?

SamJ said:
Are you standing near a TV or large appliance when you play? Or maybe near the speaker cab? Magnets will cause this hum.. it's especially pronounced on my 5-string active Fender Jazz.. maybe do to the additional pickup size.. When I move about 15 feet from my TV, the sound goes away.


Nah, at my gig I was in a big gym style room with a huge stage at one end. It doubles as a sanctuary/concert room I think.
