Because of annoying "groundhum" I shielding my Bass, with succes. Measuring the conductivity all is shielded well. One strange issue though......... Measuring the Brass saddles, no conductivity measured, how is that possible, also not when I try to measure the conductivity on a single saddle (checked conductivity of Brass saddles TE52 guitar, they are conductive).

Just the saddles but not the bridge or the strings? Indeed, just the saddles.

Re-re-re-reading your post I realise that you may be saying that you have tried to measure conductivity through a single saddle with a multimeter? I wonder if the saddles are coated with something non-conductive to make them LOOK brass? Might be worth rubbing away at them to see what that thing might be and then test again. It seems very unlikely that they are plastic. Of course early Fender basses had that phenolic resin stuff - presumably ground hum hadn't been thought of at that stage - but that's not what you have here. I already made a scratch on a saddle, still brass color is vissible. But yeah brass is highly conductive so why I cannot measure...?

If the saddle is any kind of metal it will measure some conductivity if the multimeter is functioning correctly. I can only conclude that there is a coating on those saddles to prevent proper contact between the probes and the saddle. You are just touching two areas of the same saddle with the probes? Yep and still no conductivity......
