Re: major problem !! help

I just did a hybrid with 2 Duncans and noticed the same thing...tape only around the half of the pickup with the lead wires coming out. However, I wasn't having any ground problems with either pup when they were installed before the hybrid work. I think the problem might be elsewhere.
What exactly is happening that sounds like a grounding issue? Excessive hum, weak signal, or what?
BTW if the tape thing bugs you, you can get pickup tape at StewMac's:

I used the 1/4" for mine.
