Hi,
i have just finnished a new bass guitar build with active electronics.
Everything works but i do get a loud gsm sound like in the good old days from time to time if my phone is in my pocket.
example of a gsm sound: (https://www.windytan.com/2013/01/the-gsm-buzz.html?m=1)
This kind of confuses me, because ive never had that happen with my other guitars and basses.
I know the solution is simple with just not having a phone in my pocket but i still would like to know why this bass does it, and others dont.
specs of this Build:
- 2 Single Coil Pickups from a Fender Jazz Bass (I know, not optimal for noise reduction)
- preamp : https://artecsound.com/pickups/electronics/se3.html (pretty cheap - could be the problem?)
- electronics cavity is shielded with conductive tape.
Also strange - this bass has no hum or other noise whatsoever, it will just start beeping when i recive a message on my phone.
Again, i know the easy fix is to put the phone away or in airplane mode but im still intrestet to hear your ideas.
Thanks
Alex
