    A very nice, clean looking bass you've built there. It would be nice to have a photo of you playing it on stage.

    Hey Simon; So, I do have one question: I am having a grounding issue with the tone pots only. When I plug in the guitar, there are no grounding issues when I turn up the volume pots...nothing, works awesome! However, when I turn on the tone pots there is excessive ground static that comes through the amp. This static does not disappear when I touch the strings or tuning pegs. However, when touch the jack plug, the static disappears. I have checked, re checked the wiring (checking for continuity) , re soldered where I think I made errors. I even changed out the tone pots with new pots. This has not eliminated the issue. Any ideas?
