I just got a BC-2 today, dropped it in the bridge pos. in my Jaguar. Before I strung it up I plugged into my amp (clean gain 2 - volume 9) everything seemed kosher. Tapped the blades, all switches and knobs were functioning properly. I bumped the gain up to 4 thinking I'd be appreciating the absence of that horrid 60 cycle hum... and instead it's worse than ever!
I'm thinking maybe there's a ground issue?
I don't quite know where I went wrong. Red to hot, green and bare to ground, black and white soldered n wrapped w/ heat shrink.
(FWIW, the hum on the neck pickup seems worse as well.)
It's been a while since I've done this. The directions state that "When connecting the BARE wired to ground, make sure it does not come in contact with any other connections."
Should I not have wired the bare to the back of the vol. pot?
Any help guys? Sorry if I appear noobish. I'm off my game.
