Hello,
I bought a Jackson SLSMG with a pre/factory installed Set of EMG85 in the neck- and a EMG81 in the bridgeposition.
Especially when using high gain sounds the guitar is making strong noise (Hum/Buzz), no matter if i touch the strings, the bridge, a poti or something.
It happens with both pickups. It sounds a bit like using high gain with a singlecoil but more quiet than that.
Sounds a bit like a grounding-issue to me. But i'm absolutly no expert with that active stuff.
All of my other guitars are much more quiet in comparison (all having passive PUs).
Other things i tried:
- New Battery --> No Change
- Different instrument cable -> No Change
- Different Preamps and Amplifiers --> No Change
- Different Rooms --> No Change
- Soldered that black cable off the tonepoti, because i thought that it perhaps is the bridge-grounding --> No Change
- I put off the quick connect connector first of the 85 and switched to the 81 (and than the same with the 81) to see if the noise stops
(i'm not sure if this test would lead to anything^^) --> No change.
I am not sitting in front of a TFT or something, no phone nearby. The problem always exists.
The wiring in the Electronic-Case seems to be different from what EMG describes in their Manuals.
I tried to make a wiring scheme (Jpg) to show you how it is done.
Maybe someone in this forum could give me a little help and tell me if there is something wrong with the wiring or what i can try to solve the problem.
Greetings
