Hi.
I finally got around to switching the pickups in my old P-bass. Some guy put in some actives when the originals broke some years ago, and I havent been happy with the sound since, so I ordered a new set of fender pickups a few months ago.
Now- The bass sounds awsome again, but I am getting a hum. I couldnt just follow the wiring that was already in the electronics, cuz that was active, and different from the instructions that came with the new pickups.
It doesnt hum when the tone control is dialed alll the way to dark, only when its turned to bright, and I can get rid of the hum by connecting a wire from the volume control to the strings.
I think the problem is where I put the ground wires shown on the schematic for the new pickups. They just say ground to and ground from, and I actually dont know where that is. I think those were the lines connected to the battery before.
Any advice on this ?
Gustav
