lancer Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Hi all I have a Fender Am Original 60’s P Bass with Pure vintage 63 pickups. The bass is a couple of years old and stock. Ive checked it over with a multimeter and it seems to be grounded correctly. The problem is the noisy humming if the pole pieces are touched, I’ve never had this happen with a p bass before. Any ideas how to cure this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 There't a thread on talkbass about this exact issue - due to the pole pieces not being grounded apparently: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/pickups-buzzing-when-touching-the-pole-pieces.1425595/#:~:text=That's perfectly normal.,the pickups don't buzz. The third post down contains a link to another thread that explains how to fix it: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/pole-piece-hum-a-grounding-tutorial.1229441/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
