Hi
I bought a Jackson Soloist with 2 Hot Rails and a JB bridge pickup.
The neck Hot Rails is making some buzz on it's own and when used with the middle pup.
I do get sound out of it, but cant get rid of the hum. I don't see any torn wires at the base, but am a little frightened to remove the ribbon and dig in, etc.
Any suggestions or do I have to have someone remove the ribbon and test each of the wires?
I've re-tinned and soldered the green & bare wires to the volume pot, re-soldered the black to the switch just to make sure the connections were good.
Not sure if it's worth paying for a repair (if I can't fix it) vs buying another used one.
Thoughts? Here's are a couple pics.
