I installed the new jack in the bass I was loaned. The crackle has stopped but there's now a hum from the amp when I'm not touching the stings. My research says this is normal but it feels weird to my ear.

    I had this once on a bass I inherited. Reversed the wiring on the jack and it stopped. May be worth a try?

    I reversed it and the hum got significantly worse.
