Buzz when volumes at zero?

[phiit]

Need some help, I have 2 humbuckers with typical Les Paul wiring minus the tone pots. The problem is that when I turn volumes to zero I get loud buzz/noise. What the hell can cause this? Volumes at max the sound is fine and haven't noticed any grounding issues. Anyone have ideas?

maybe your pots are going bad?

Have u wired the right hand lug of each vol control to ground (back of a pot), that might explain the noise on zero you experience, just an idea. An obvious one i know.

Yes, they are soldered to ground..

I was fixing a friends gutiar and the volume knob did something similar, but when it was turned to full. I'm hoping whoever sheds light on your question will also answer mine.

Yeah.. life's a bitch, I just compared my solderings to another guitar that's wired the same way and I didn't notice any difference, only that my buzzes. :33:
