spiteboy Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'm getting conflicting stories from all over the place. When grounding the bridge, do I need to run a ground from the TOM and run a wire from the tailpiece? OR... Do I just need to run a wire from one? the left side of my brain keeps telling the right side that I would be creating a ground loop if I did both. Please help! Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob7 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 i think only 1, since the strings connect them one should be grounded by the other....If you can ground strings by grounding the tom, then i guess the strings touching the tailpiece would ground that as well. But im not an expert, Im just speculating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yeah, only one needs grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefm Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Yup...you're right....grounding both would be redundant...and you ground the bridge to ground the strings anyway...either one will work...basically anything metal that touches the strings....you could ground the nut or a tuner if it was convenient and it would have the same effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
