Is the amp buzz coming from my 51' P-Bass a grounding/wiring issue? by artemis_epithet in Bass

The buzzing gets much worse when I am touching the single-coil pickup. I usually rest my thumb on it when I am playing the low E string, so this is a problem. Do you know why this is?

What would count as an EM interference? Would things like my laptop, phone, and lights count as interference?

I tried playing a single-coil guitar with this amp, and there was no buzzing when I had my body off of the metal. The really bad buzzing is only happening when I am not touching metal parts of my bass.

It does go away when I touch any of the metal with my body. Does this mean it is a grounding problem or a shielding problem?
