[quote name='alanday1975' timestamp='1397407355' post='2423619'] Having a nightmare with buzzing from my rickenbacker 4003 which only disappears when i touch something metal....Would screening help at all anyone?????? [/quote] Something I've encountered a couple of times is this. A couple of basses have developed a serious buzz, which disappears when touching the bridge or strings. I've removed pickguard checked wiring/earthing etc. all good. With the pickguard still pulled away from the body, I've pushed in the jack plug and no buzzing . Then put p/g back in place buzzing returns. Problem resolved by loosening off the input socket and rotating it slightly, so that the metal work is not in contact with or near to the side of the cavity.

[quote name='alanday1975' timestamp='1397462073' post='2424007'] im a bit of novice so just double checking.....So i should tape the back of the scratch plate, the cavity where the pup is and the cavity where the pots are yeah?? [/quote] Yep, that's it.

Good for you mate. I was with a band for a while that sucked the fun right out of it. It took me a while to realise just how miserable they were making me. What a relief when I finally walked away and got with a band that made it fun again.

Love the look of that. Hope you enjoy.

Got to get stuck in and learn these over the next couple of days. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TM2QxqnJLQ[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYIcn4nv3EI[/media]

That is pretty ming Dave

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/stevent1358?_rdc=1 I use this supplier Lozz, Good prices, quick delivery. Just make sure you get the one with the conductive adhesive. (the slug tape is not what you want)

I did the same to one of mine and all was good. Although I can't recall if the cavities were also screened. Sorry Lozz not much help really. It certainly wont do any harm though and is a nice easy little job

We are adding some Zepp to our set, so today I've been having fun with this, trickier than I thought it would be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJLxuqJO8zo

So, was it not buzzing prior to the attempted set up?

Great to see this is still going strong and more name players getting in on the action.

It looks right at home in there, good choice.

Great job. Enjoyed following this one.

Good man

That does look rather lovely. Nice find.
