Yank my leghair to stop my plug buzzing (have I got that the right way round?)

Also finished last night was the bass recording for How Come I'm Never Around, which makes the recording of the first song complete. Relax, release, repent, remix. And wonder about the unsightly smell. Well almost, complete that is not the latter, as there are backing vocals to do but they are quite happy to wait for another day thank you very much.
One note of amusement however was an anomolous buzz from Steve's bass. Despite turning off all the lights we couldn't cure it until he touched the plug coming from his DI box. Didn't go away when anyone else touched it only him, which posed the momentary problem of how could he play whilst having to touch the jack plug. In the end it was decided that Graham should complete the circuit, so the entire bass part was recorded with Graham lying on the floor with one hand on the offending jack plug and the other on the equally offensive leg of Steve, to general heckling of all others. I kid you not.

Whats going on here? Nothing you want to know about, trust me...
