Shocking Issues!! (part 2)

[thats_mr_to_you]

hey I posted this once before but I figured something new out.I have a simple PA in my basement, and I was getting pretty bad schocks when I touched the mic while jamming with my band. I figured out tonight that it only happened when I was touching my bass. We recently had the plugs looked at, and I dont know what the electrician did but I plugged the amp into another plug (another circut all together) and It stopped shocking. So this leads me to believe that the plug the amp was plugged into was not grounded properly? Has anyone ever had this problem? and If I plug the amp inot a grounded circut will it stop shocking for sure, casue Im still a little scared

any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Let's play "shock the vocalist"

If the vocalist does not play an instrument, the guitar players can make good sport of just such a situation.

I eliminated this problem when I installed active pups in my guitar (EMG's) The actives aren't grounded to the bridge, therefore eliminating the ground loop.
