Guys the buzz during jamming was really bad. The same kind that goes really loud until i cover the strings with my hand (human grounding). Suggestions? Shielding?
also if your amp is 2-pin there's no difference because there's no path to ground for your bass anyway (except through your body)

yeah just send your bass for wiring and shielding - the works
then at least if still got problem you can hound the guy who did it for you :mrgreen:
the ground wire in my jazz bass came off and the noise became really problematic, especially on big rigs. i sent it to cherns for wiring + shielding. now i have peace of mind; if there's noise, it's not from the bass 8)

All before this KC took a look and got it grounded man, my amp plug is 3 pin and the last i checked i was talking about my lakland WITHOUT any bartolinis. Geez man, take it easy yea! You might be trying to help but you seem to be mixing everything up. Thanks anyway.

Email Dan (the owner) at Lakland. Their aftersales is supposed to be one of the best in the world and if judging by the amount of TB buzz about this, Dan himself takes a personal interest in making sure every single Lakland out there is problem free (even if you are not the original owner or are outside of USA).
Contacts for Dan and Kirk (Tech) are here: http://www.lakland.com/contact.htm
Also worth going to TB and asking the guys there. By sheer volume of the bassists (and Lakland owners) there, someone is bound to have had a similar experience and an answer for you.

Let us all know what happens/problem identification/solution. I think this is something that is not entirely uncommon. Plus I just got word that my Lakland is on the way and *touch wood* if the same thing happens to it, I'll want to know how to solve it

Nice, which lakland did you order? The problem might be due to the ChiSonics new design and high output.

I got a skyline DJ4. Natural with black pickguard and black blocks. All stock, didn't get the preamp.
How did Dan/Kirk/TB turn out?

Haven't got it yet. It's somewhere in Ohio now making its way over here via UPS and then DHL.
Glad that at least you're getting some attention personally from Lakland tech.
