  • Simple Cause & Solution??

    Without opening up my pickguard, here's the beef: Bridge>SD Little 59/78, Middle> SD RW/RP SSL2, Neck>SD SSL2,,, Don't remember having the problem before but I'm suddenly getting hum in my #4 position (neck w/rwrp middle),, previously I was getting hum only in 3 & 5, which is normal,,,, Is it likely that knocked some ground loose on the middle p/u? Wouldn't I get no sound if I did? I did very recently swapped the 59 for the 78, so my suspicion is the obvious loose wire theory!!?? Be safe all!!

    UPDATE!!

    Man, I checked everything, including things I know it would never be...Heres a pic,,, fwiw, the tone pot is hooked up only to the bridge,,, the volume pot is well grounded to the pickguard, and the output jack is fine,, neck & middle p/u's each have the whites to the switch & blacks to ground.... The switch is selecting the pups correctly,,,, it's that darn #4 position that has suddenly reared it noisy head.... Could the switch be faulty even though it's switching properly? Thnx all~

Working...
