In this video I am showing you how to shield a bass guitar using copper tape.

The bass is a Justin Meldal-Johnsen Signature Road Worn Fender Mustang Bass.

1. Remove strings
2. Clean / condition fretboard (optional)
3. Remove pickguard, pickups and control plate
4. Clean cavities free of debris
5. Line cavities with copper tape
6. Line underside of pickguard with copper tape
7. Join cavities together using a short wire and solder
8. Attach a short wire from control plate cavity to where the bridge ground is on back of volume pot
9. Re-attach pickups, pickguard and control plate
10. Re-string

No more noise : )

Please note that you should only use copper tape which has a conductive adhesive on the underside.
