Electric clicks when I touch the strings? (bass)

Post by FireAarro » Tue Jan 22, 2008 9:29 pm

Hi, I just noticed something today, if I have my hands off the strings then touch the strings there's often a little electric pop/clicking noise coming through the amp. Is this bad? I might've gotten a tiny shock earlier, before I noticed the noise, but I could've just been imagining that.

edit: uhh move this to amps

Times change.  Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky?  Now it grows hair!  We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

sounds like a grounding issue, maybe. 

Is it bad?  Only if it bothers you.
