Looks like Scott and I share the same thoughts on wiring and shielding. I shielded my strat and left my LP alone. What he said!

Gav, on my recent LP build I only shielded the control cavity. No buzz and sounds great (using the stock pups).

#Planning 5 String Bass
hi guys,
Over the last 2 days I have managed to get the cavities shielded and grounded (I did the pickups cavities in the end just in case) , get all the vintage wiring done, and get the electronics installed. Whew! It was a mammoth effort but she's now looking and sounding super sweet.
Man, those Entwistle HDN pickups are so hot my ears are bleeding!! Sounds amazing, and that's just the clean channel!! I'll have to do a sound demo when all is finished, so get ready to put up with my crap playing again. One more step left before she's complete, and that's to file a new bone nut. That said, she should be done by this time tomorrow! I'm very excited.
cheers,
Gav.

@gavinturner, really nice looking Les Paul there, can't wait to hear how it sounds.
As always, love it, Gav. Consistent awesomeness.
