help bridge grounding

[mike1968]

Good evening, I bought the mexi jazz I posted about online last week. Got some money knocked off for various things so I am into it for next to nothing . All was in really good shape except for the pickgaurd which for some reason had the pickup hole enlarged in a ugly way and the pickups where bottomed almost below the pickgaurd resulting in poor performance. easy fix, buy a pickgaurd sometime and I have already corrected pickup height. My only problem left is I have considerable buzz unless I touch the strings or bridge. I have an ohm meter as I work with electrical/ electronic circuits every-week-day of my life, just not on bass,amps ect.... I could check resistance between bridge and tone/ground connection on tone control. My ? is Does this sound like a poor or no grounding issue?Bridge has been upgraded to a gotoh and I suspect poor grounding.Please excuse my rambling as I have been drinking my wifes expresso she makes and it has me pretty wiggity

I do not know and am not going to take the bass apart again tonight. I appreciate your response and could stand to look at the schematic on fender.com or elsewhere so I know what your talking about.
