seth lover pickups - supposed to hum?

[jsullysix]

hey all, just installed a set of seth lovers,
and they hum a little (heh, and no i don't recognize the tune).
i know that they're not wax potted, but i also don't think it's normal.
it's most likely my wiring, but is this uncommon from your experiences?

thanks,
sully

Mine are dead quiet, so you may have a grounding issue. I am no expert on how to troubleshoot, but check all your connections. Good luck.

Glad you found the problem. You may still hear a tiny bit of noise around flourescent lighting, but nothing to lose sleep over.
