Hey, all. Bass player for years and new to the forum.

I have a Geddy Lee bass that gets the static-like buzz when I turn up the treble on the tone knob. Drives me nuts, even though I prefer to play with the tone knob 1/4 on, anyway. Aside from having to shield it, or procure noiseless pickups, are there any super-shielded cables out there that may eliminate the buzz...or do you think this will need a full-on shielding/grounding job or new pups.

Other than this one caveat, the Geddy is perfect.

I have a buzzing problem with a Standard Jazz Bass i have.. i put noiseless fender pickups in it too! still buzzes though.. I might bring the Geddy Lee to someone.. find out can it be stopped..
I have an american Standard Jazz Bass V... completely silent.. no buzz.. even when hands are off strings..
