Useless amateur Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ok can any of the smart derrières out there tell me if it is worth shielding a bass. I am building my first bass and already have a load of copper tape anyway so cost isn’t an issue for once. Does it really make a difference or not? Thanks in advance Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 If it's well done, yes. If not it can be worse than nothing. You have to link each shielded cavity to the main one, so grounding will be complete. And please do a total star grounding, otherwise it may also be useless. Also try to avoid unnecessary grounding or you may create a ground loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
