noisy bass

[Thunderbird]

Hi all I am having trouble with my bass being noisy I have just put a new wiring loom in it and re-shielded the cavities but I am getting like an annoying buzzy sound thet is really loud if I touch the pick ups which at first I thought was an earthing issue so I changed the bridge ground wire and I think the grounding is good as when I touch a string or another metal part of the bass at the same time as the pick up poles the noise goes so could my shielding be messing something up as in i touching the pots or jack socket thus causing the noise? thanks in advance

Sounds like it could be a problem with the pickup earth, if the noise stops when you earth the pups off another metal part. If you replace your hand with a wire and run an earth from the pickup to the back of a pot it might cure it. Though I might be totally wrong, just an idea.
