I have a Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass.
A few years old.
I play in the active mode.
When the volume is up on the bass and my hands are off the strings, there is a buzzing coming from the bass.
When I cover or hold the strings, the buzzing stops.
This has been a problem with the worship band I play bass for at our church. We use in-ear monitors and when I take my hands off the strings, the buzzing starts. This is heard by the others and the sound man and until they realize it is my bass, they are trying to find the issue.
Again, when I play, there is no issue at all.
This also happens at home if I use headphones, I can hear the buzzing if I am not holding the strings.
I don't recall if playing through my amp if there is a buzzing. I don't take notice....
I also have a Fender American Deluxe Precision Bass and there is no issue like this with the P-Bass.

Any suggestion as to the issue and how to fix it????

Thanks

Look a ground issue, bad ground wire, bad contact.

Did your bass was quiet before ?
Any mod done on bass ?

The bass is a 2009.
I don't recall a buzz, but, it may have been there are I did not notice.
There have been no mods on the bass.
All stock.
Thank you for your reply.
