Another Fender Jaguar Issue

So I finally got around to doing the shielding fix on my 2006 Jag. It worked just as everyone said it would, but apparently there is another problem that I attributed to the poor shielding. When you bump the bass (especially by the battery cavity) the bass crackles like something is loose. I found another thread that said they fixed a similar problem with the Jag by putting double back on top of the battery so the battery had better contact.

I tried this but it didn't work. The crackling occurs whether a battery is installed or not so I didn't think that was the problem anyway. I was wondering if any other Jaguar owners have had this problem. It is either something with the battery cavity or the volume cavity (I am leaning more toward this).

I thought I would post this because it seems we Jag owners experience some of the same issues (especially on the older ones). Any advice would help.

Sounds like your shielding job might not be making contact all the way through. Try pushing down on your pickguard and see if you can replicate it.

Another theory: Output jack problem?

Thanks Dave, I'll double check.
