I could use some help for my first gig next saturday...

I did shield the control cavity, pickup route, pickguard and connected everything to ground. I'm not sure if the bridge is grounded, how can I check that?
After the shielding job I definitely noticed an improvement, so I guess it worked. But I don't have a multimeter, might invest in getting that as well.

A quick internet search showed me that [This invalid link has been removed] It's a worthy investment.

And to answer your question, you can check the bridge ground by touching one lead of the multimeter to the bridge, and the other lead to the sleeve of the jack. Just touch the part of the jack that you can see, and that will be good enough. If the bridge is grounded to the shielding, and the shielding is connected to the ground lug on the jack, there will be no resistance between the sleeve of the jack and the bridge.

The Brennenstuhl power strip did a splendid job at the office. The hum was greatly reduced and almost not noticeable at all. The EHX Hum Debugger still seemed to make things a little bit worse, so I removed it from my setup and didn't use it. Most of the times I didn't even bother to turn down the volume between songs. Very happy with the final result!

The gig went well yesterday, we had an amazing time. It was a limited audience of a little over 30 people, and they might have been a bit biased because it was mainly colleagues and family, but they were all very enthusiastic, everyone seemed to love it! We are very satisfied. On to our next gigs!

Thanks again for all your support!
