Noisy Bass Guitar- Simple Fix

If your bass guitar is noisy you might have a grounding issue, or are suffering from electrical interference. If the buzz stops when you touch the strings or bridge, that is a good indicator. At any rate, one easy and cheap fix you can try is  shielding the electrical cavity with copper shielding tape. If this doesn't fix the hum you may have other issues, but a good shielding job certainly wont hurt!

For 14$ worth of shielding tape, and 40 minutes of my day, I completely eliminated the excess noise from my P bass and it is now silent.

If you don't feel comfortable taking your bass apart to shield the cavity, take it to a professional!  

This is the tape I used
