Bass DI

Do you have a multimeter? Check the earth between the bridge and the pickups and the volume pots.

Does the noise change when both pickups are turned all the way up or one pickup is up the other is off?

Is the wiring cavity lined with shielding, this is sometimes just silver foil?

Getting that much into it = trip to the guitar shop. :)
 
Basic things like opening up the control section of your guitar and messing with the knobs should not warrant a guitar shop trip!
 
I guess you DO care, otherwise you'd put up with the bad sound ...
I've met people who've been playing guitar for years, yet do not know how to change strings.
 
Here's a new clip, same issue. Please listen all the way through as most of the noise is near the very end. It's only 20 secs. Note that during the final held note, I am holding up the bass and moving it around. There is a cracking noise that I suspect is from the output jack in the bass.
