Ou7shined Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Solder it to to any earth ie pot casings, the negative on your jack socket or cavity shielding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Makes no difference although I'd go for whichever is the closest on the basis that the longer the wire, the more there is of it to break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apa Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1320873662' post='1432717'] Makes no difference although I'd go for whichever is the closest on the basis that the longer the wire, the more there is of it to break. [/quote] Or the furthest so if it does break you can still solder it to the shortest.* *Way to complicate a simple answer A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
