You're one of those people I could listen to for hours even if you were just reading the phone book. I really want this bass, and I think I'll get the wireless transmitter system too.

Apparenlty it isn't actually a bad ground if it goes away when you touch it. It wouldn't go away at all if it wasn't grounded at all. But one trick I hear about is to get an electricians grounding braclet, and you can hook it to the bridge or something, so it won't hum while you aren't touching the strings or bridge. One cause of the hum is the human bodies own electrical signal is causing the noise, and its picked up due to the combination of high output pick ups and distortion from the amp. One piece of evidence the grounding problem lies in your own body, is touch an input jack on another amp, that you aren't plugged into, that is plugged to a wall and turned off, you will notice the sound goes away because it grounds your body

if one has to ware a grounding strap thats just dumb and a bad ground can still cause the problem grounds can be bad and can be fixed basic 101 of electronics

Any idea what strings to buy for this bass ?

[@KevinMillard68]

yup the ones that suit you,, and are of course the proper length for the bass this uses short scale length strings but there are a number of choices my self i love flatwound strings my self

I started to get this bass before I noticed the JS1M was about $30 cheaper.

[@KevinMillard68]
