Need some help please

I have a problem with my bass,there is a background noise,it completely disapears when I touch the jack.I read up on internet where I could and I understand it needs shielding or something,I opened the back and there was none at all.But as many tutorials as I read inclueding the one in this section Im not completely sure how to do it.
Do I just take the electronics out,cover the cavities with aluminum foil and replace it all back or is there something else I must do?
If it help,I have taken the time to draw out the wiring as best I can for if its a problem other than shielding.
Thanks.
