Another big test. An attempt at a Faraday cage made from a cast iron Dutch oven. Three different pickups. https://youtu.be/iwBtJWrCA38

Never heard a response, so I'm including some tests I did if it interests anyone. https://youtu.be/85WOZju2bJs https://youtu.be/laSZZJlz-Yk

Replying to all. I've been doing a bunch of testing. - Tburst, I picked up a nice Klein RT250 for testing my outlets. I have a mix of grounded and ungrounded outlets, but they all passed apart form that. However, we can rule this out due to the breaker test I ran after you had suggested...

Speaking of which, I now have a multimeter  :headbang: It's the Harbor Freight 7 Function Digital. Can you guide me though this testing?

Yes and no. Some places I got the hum, some places gave me little to no noise.

Ha  :laughing7:  @Bagman67 & @Mayfly know of anyone giving away a cage? I'd actually install it. For now I'm going to try some heavy duty tinfoil on the wall between me and the street, then just throw a Beatles tapestry over it or something... BECAUSE, I just ran the breaker test. I had my son...

Things just got interesting boys! The power lines some posters asked about are just in front of the house on the street. So out of curiosity, I plugged in my Amplug and headphones and walked to the back porch, which is the furthest away part. Test 1: I faced away from the street overlooking...

Very cool. That's more informative than the ones I have.

It's a tight fit as-is, so that would mean boring the hole out some more which is already pretty big. A little nervous about that. The good ol' US of A. More specifically in New England, in a small town a few hours from Boston. This means wicked old infrastructure, seemingly upgraded ONLY to...

Hey thanks! Ya my soldering this time around is definitely ugly. I can't find my clip solder station or my flux. But the connections are at least solid. When I do a theater for someone, I can promise you it's much cleaner. As for the output cavity, EMG recommended I keep shielding away from the...

You guys are rock stars. Excellent info here. I'm posting photos and I hope I'm addressing enough questions. I did try swapping the leads at the jack, and the result was no sound at all. I assume this means I had it wired correctly. Again, I have two ground wires; one from the bridge to the...

Very well could be. How would you approach this?

The only time the hum changed when I touch the strings, is the one time I accidentally put the bridge ground on the signal pin instead of the GND pin on the Volume pot. Currently everything is wired correctly, and there is no change when I touch the strings. As I mentioned, I have a ground wire...

New to forum. Please advise if I'm misstepping. Symptom: I'm at wit's end trying to kill a 60 cycle hum in my bass I had built last summer. It's been there from day one. I've spent several months speaking with different manufacturers, all who have provided great support (EMG, Audient, Source...
