Thunderbird Pro Buzzing Noise.

Greetings all,

I recently got an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro bass. The only problem with it however is that it makes this buzzing noise,which seems to be a common problem with these. I have sent back to Sweetwater for repair and I just got it back after they fixed the grounding wire. It still buzzes.

I have looked through another forum here, and have found a variety of ideas as to what’s wrong, such as the pickups, preamp, cable, amp, etc. I am in the dark as to how I find what the problem is, and would appreciate any feedback.

Did you ever find the answer?
