U.S. Peavey Club

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

No affiliation. I've bought 2 basses from this guy. A White custom Foundation, he had cleaned it all up nicely, and a Dynabass he sold to me as is...(my current favorite) This one it looks like he went through and cleaned up.

Cheers!
Ad says quartersawn neck, since when are Peavey necks quarter sawn?
 
Good luck. :)
Mine is really quiet without any shielding.
So is the Super Ferrite in my Gen 1 Slant Fury.

Yeah generally it's no problem, but my audio interface sits at bass height, dead in front of the pickup when I'm practicing in front of the computer, and that's where almost all the interference comes from. Of course, no amount of shielding will save me when it's directly in front of the pup.
I think I get less hum now, but I'm wondering if I'm not getting good contact between the pickguard and cavity shielding. Noise drops completely (to my ear) when I turn 90 degress to the interference source, but comes back again at 180 degrees.

That's normal - antennas can function directionally, so at one angle you'll get great signal (in this case that's bad) and others you'll get poor signal (in this case it's good). Back in the UHF/VHF TV days there were controllers to turn the antenna on your roof to improve reception of different channels for just this reason.
