  • Emg hums

    I just installed an old semi-raped EMG-85 in my Nazicaster, and the thing sounds great. Only it hums. And it hums even worse when I touch the volume knob. Anyone knows what's up?

    The condition of the pickup is kinda bad, the pot is kinda old, all the wires are at least 2 smaller wires soldered together. And the soldering job is kinda horrible. I burnt my thumb 5 times and almost set fire to my room(yeeehaw). I also didn't have a proper schematic so I improvised a bit.

    Thanx a mil

    It's a HummmmBucker? I'm sorry. Check all your wires. If it's the guts, your done. You may have melted the little pup. I laugh. But, I have all these grand plans and parts and the soldering scars and scares the shit out of me.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

            Wow!! Awesome! Did it cost much to have the paintjob done, or did you do it yourself?

                Actually that belt belongs the the previous owner. I also don't own any cameras. You have teh weird memory

                The paintjob was done when I got the axe, no clue who did it. Anyone know what's wrong with the nazi?

                  Well I fixed it on my own. Some more impromptu soldering fixed it.
