Buzzing noise after replacing my output jack
I have a bass with active electronics. My output jack broke and I replaced the jack with the brand output the company recommended. After replacing the jack I get a intermittent buzz/interference noise. My question is could I have damaged either the wire or the active electronics.

Thanks for your input.

If you used a soldering iron, not a blowtorch, the electronics are probably o.k. Soldering is a bit of an art. Tin the wire, tin the tags, then you only need enough heat to re-melt the solder, put them together, and keep still till it's solidified. There may be a stray strand of wire that is catching a wrong terminal/tag.
