Hi there Thank you all for your advice regarding my shielding problem. What I have done is removed all of the copper tape I had installed as I could not locate the short circuit. At least the bass is now working again. I've decided I'm going to take the nuclear option & completely upgrade all of the cavity wiring along with the pots & caps as the existing wiring is really thin and nasty and before I install the new wiring I'm going to paint the cavity with shielding paint. Again thanks for all of your advice John

Hi there I've recently tried shielding the control cavity of my Dean Edge 2 bass using copper tape and now all I get from the bass is a horrendous loud buzzing sound which gets even louder when I touch the strings. I have checked all of my wiring and all seems ok there, I have checked the copper throughout the cavity for continuity and that is ok as well. Prior to starting to shielding the cavity all was working well with the only issue being a hum which is why I wanted to shield the cavity in the first place. Any help in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated John
