Hey guys, I'm pretty new around these parts. Anywho, I recently picked up a Buttercream SR 4 HH from Bass Northwest. The bass is amazing and I really like the neck humbucker. Problem is, I get some noise when I'm running the neck pickup alone. However I noticed that if I just play around with the pickup switch (not changing the position) I can get the noise to go away. The hum is very quiet, not nearly loud enough to be irritating, but I was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Sounds like a dirty switch or something. If you have access to contact/deox cleaner, that should fix it. If it's an actual hum, then I have no idea. Since you just bought it, the tech at the store should take a look at it at no cost to you... Bass Northwest is top notch. They should take care of you.

Hahaha. We were talking about you just the other day.

Congrats on the buttercream! I got one coming tommorow.

Welcome to the forums! Hope you stick around a while.

Thanks for the welcome Dr. Stankface

The SR4 HH is really a kick ass bass...I have been a p bass guy ever since I've started playing, but the HH changed that. I love my new buttercream 'Ray, but after seeing what the 2007 LE is, I just might have to let this one go for a Blue Dawn SR 4 HH

If so, let me know. I called BNW, but you'd already snatched this!

Will do, Jason.
