Might going wireless help stop the buzzing?
Might going wireless help stop the buzzing?
At the club I have a gig at tonight, my Squier Jazz buzzes like mad.
(The guitar player's guitar buzzes, too. They have some neon lights
going into the same circuit the stage uses.) The last couple times
we've played there I've left the Squier at home (it's a killer bass, I
put Bartolini pickups in it, replaced the bridge, installed a nice new
pickguard on it, shielded the pickup cavities) and used my fretless
and a 5 string. The Squier buzzes a bit at other clubs, but nothing
like at the one I'll be at tonight. If I turn the tone knob way down
(or touch the control plate) between songs the buzz is greatly
reduced.
Anyway, I am wondering if maybe trying my wireless unit might help.
It's an Audio-Technica (cannot recall the model number at this
moment).
Thanks for any opinions on whether or not going wireless may help
reduce the buzzing.
Mike

Doubt it. Competing with neon lights is tough. The source of the noise
is your pickups, and wireless won't do a thing.

Try it and see, but I would suspect it may well be worse?.
