My Seymour Duncan JB pickup in the neck has started humming on distortion, much like a single coil.
Anybody knows whats going on?

a properly soldered pickup should not hum. next culprit would be your cable, then your power point.

Hi, have you tried it with another guitar amp, the humming could come from the amp without grounding.
High feedback sound will come if you set the gain on the lead/boost/overdrive channel too high. It's expected, that's why people use effect pedals to cut off (bypass) when not need the high gain sound.
Other than that maybe the git needs to be fixed.

The settings of my amps havent been changed since I got the new pickups. Besides switching from clean to lead, that is.
Get a soldering iron and a screwdriver, and TRASH your guitar...... end up destroying parts and a hefty repair bill from the professional repairman. :twisted:
That happens MORE OFTEN than NOT. Just a pointer, not because I am also a repairman. :wink:
Like we say PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH.
That's what you pay money for, not to get your guitar wreaked, but fixed by someone who does it for a living. It's what makes the world go round. :roll:

Haha, yea, you've got a point there.
But these are what I call essential skills. Must agar agar try, then next time all problems can settle yourself. Especially so if you have more guitars, and maintainance costs go up. It's also inconvenient if you stay far from where the techs/luthiers are located

ya pooo, believe all these skills are essential...
basic changing of electronics, n also set-up...
besides, set-up is a very subjective thing. if u read abt famous artists' set-up, u'd be surprise many of them have very high action. there isn't such thing as correct set-up, juz whether u like it or not.
n sometimes accident happens, imagine juz one wire comes lose n u gotta bring it all the way to the tech n pay him like $20-40 just to solder that wire back...
it was some of those blood sucker so called guitar techs that made me go learn all these (im definitely NOT refering to anyone here)... n afterthat i realized its actually quite easy to pick up.

But then, bring it back to the tech and say "lousy job". Get it done for free.
Still, if you know the right connections, life is much easier.

then i guess its time to bring it back to your ur "almighty", all-praises, highly-recommend hero beez whom everyone here seems to "worship him, n tell him he not juz put a sucky pickup on ur neck position (invader neck matching JB bridge?!?!?), an unusual middle position pickup (once again, not that i think its anything wrong, juz that its also the first time i heard little 59 in the middle position), but also tell him he did a "lousy job".

Two of your accusations are unfounded.
The Invader was my idea.
Secondly, the JB hum has been experienced by many people, as you will find obvious on the Seymour Duncan forums.
And please, if you dislike beez, keep it to yourself, dude.
Cheers. :roll:
