Does running your accordion output through a DI box then to the amp help?..might be a ground effect issue?

We have a mando player with an internal pick up fitted to the instrument, who plays through an LR Baggs FX and a DI unit but he still gets a buzz....and our electric bass player still gets a hummm from his Fender...very annoying but can't seem to stop it.

I think a lot of it is just stuff that happens when you gig...the various venues emit variable interferences....or so the electronic geeks tell me. Unless the buzz is way outa control I say just get on with it, pump up the volume and entertain the punters!

The only time I can see it being an issue is in the recording studio..but those engineering guys have ways and means of fixing that.
