Squier Bronco bass mods Ep.3: Will shielding the pickguard & cavity reduce the noise?

In episode 3 of this series, I will be shielding the pickguard, and then the cavity of this Squier Sonic series bronco short scale bass in efforts of reducing the noise (single coil hum, RF noise) from the pickup. We will be using copper foil tape to shield the bass. Benefits of the copper tape: easy to use, easy to clean up, easy to shape, conductive adhesive so overlapping pieces form a conductive sheet and relatively inexpensive (2" x 20ft roll from Amazon was $13 CDN). As an added bonus, if you don't like it, it can easily be removed. This video will also feature objective measurements of the pre and post shielding noise using a loudness meter plugin within Logic X. We will also be using a Gallien Krueger 800RB's transformer to induce electro-magnetic noise. Close proximity of the bass to the amp causes a humming noise through the pickups. a) Control measurement: PRE-shielding resting noise and induced noise b) Phase 1: POST Shielding the pickguard only and re-measurement c) Phase 2: POST Shielding the cavity in addition to the pickguard and re-measurement.
