The jack on the guitars is a stereo type jack. The "ring" contact actually is connected to the battery and whenh the PLUG is inserted FULLY it coonects the ring contact of thee jack to the slkeeve contact of the jack which completes the circuit to turn on the battery. Hence while insertying the plug you will firsst get a snap as the tip of the plug ties to the ground of the guitar which is floating and picks up hum. Next the tip will touch the battery connection and get a snap. Finally when fully inserted both the battery is connected as well as the audio.
SOME guitars, especially those with tuners built inj will try tio fire up when the tip (audio) touches the battery cinnection. This may cycle and create the repetitive sound as it tries to start.
First at all, thank you very much for your response, i got some doubts, wich battery do you refer? the baterry of the active pickups? and, i think this sound it's not a normal sound when plug in the jack, i got others basses and guitars, and does't sound like this. thanks
I was refering to the battery in the guitar itself.
Active pickups will always pop a couple of times when you plug them in. Always kill the sound before unplugging or plugging in. It has to turn on the battery and activate. Your other guitars may not have this feature.
