Over the years, I’ve posted a LOT of threads and comments about electrical buzz in my basses. For a while it was a string of horrible luck purchasing almost completely unshielded basses. In more recent times, I’ve discovered there is something wacky in the electrical here at my house.
As an example, even on some of the basses I shielded the absolute crap out of, in the early AM and later PM hours, if I had any device in my chain which drew AC power, I would get a horribly aggressive buzz for about a half-hour. This corresponded with no known appliance/electrical device use in my house.
Recently, I moved to a different spot in the house, and it has gotten BAD. That horribly aggressive buzz now persists all day long, regardless of bass or amp or DAI or electrical outlet used. If it plugs in, it’s now buzzing. My only recourse has been playing through my Zoom on batteries, and I had to buy a bluetooth dongle because if I run an audio cable from my PC for play-along music, the buzz comes along. But over the bluetooth, I get no buzz.
I have nothing to offer as way of assistance, but I suffer the same. I now use nothing but humbuckers or noiseless pickups and that works for me. Do your humbuckers also buzz?
@JustTim you can simply replace the pickup to EMG. The active pickups will definitely be noiseless regardless of how bad the interference around you. It’s much cheaper to fix than redo your electrical.
Let me know if you want to do that. I’ll dig up the one I put on my Deluxe Jazz and we can meet at my restaurant I’ll swap it out for you.
No, I’m talking about switching out your pickups and electronics to EMG. I have several for the Jazz bass seal or pole pieces. Just let me know it’s done and it’s yours.
I have a problem with chicken feet, not pig feet though.
My wife who is Chinese loves them.
I partly grew up on a chook farm and I know where their feet have been.
I grew up in a Cantonese Dim Sum restaurant so I know how they are made the temperature that they fry the feet is so high 450*F so it would puff up, nothing survives that, you also have to remove the outer skin so it’s safe from anything on the ground.
I hear you man. I visited a fish sauce factory when I was young with our family, till this day I would not consume fish sauce by it self only when incorporated into food. Also took me years, before eating pork after a visit to a pig slaughter house. I sometimes have a flashback when I cut into my Kurobuta.
