I have posted a blog at
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=353517747&blogID=372769370
that describes the shielding modification I made on my older Precision bass.

I have some pictures posted also.

Thanks! I have a friend that also wraps his pickups with shielding tape - a copper foil tape, however, the conductive paint seemed to work out fine for my purposes.

I appreciate the comment - thanks

You have some great photos of your bass using the copper foil and star-grounding option. Very neat job. My approach was more simply using conductive paint, although a friend of mine has used a combination of conductive paint, wrapping pickups with copper foil, and star grounding. Thanks
