Buzzing AVRI Precision

[Hutton]

My 2006 AVRI Precision is buzzing or perhaps humming would be a better description. When I touch the strings or one of the knobs the humming stops. However, when I touch a pole piece the humming gets louder. Any advice good people?

You can buy shielding kits on eBay that have copper foil for the scratch plate and conductive paint for the cavity - I used one of them on my mex p bass and it improved things but didn’t completely eliminate the hum

Sounds like a grounding problem to me. Are you using a grounded wall outlet when it occurs? Could also be a loose soldering joint in the electronics of the

bass or something like that.
