Need some help, I got this bass earlier this year and there's a horrible buzz which stops with a pop when I touch the hardware, and there's a scratching when I play up and down the neck. It's been back to the store and the distributer. Is this normal?!

Grounding problem, should get sorted with an electronics overhaul. Quite how it's been back to the the store and the distributor and still has the issue I don't know though, does it not happen at their locations?
If it does, and they're not fixing it, they should give you a new bass. If it's not happening at their locations, but at all locations with you.....could be a problem with your cables/amp etc.

Si

p.s.
Just moving this to repair forum

Check ground connections to any meta pickup cover / body of pots etc.
Is the pickup cavity / control cavity screened - Aluminium or Copper or 'Black' conductive paint ?
If so then check continuity from screening to output jack connection ( can be difficult with the paint so check visually too.
