Ok can someone help please?
here is the background. I have a strat with mexi pots and noiseless pickups. there was intermittent noise, so I took it to a guitar shop and had the switch replaced and since it came back there has been alot of hum. the guy says its my pickups that i need to change which will cost around 300$ which i think is bs.
Ive checked all the grounds(ill attach a pic soon) it the hum seems to get much better when:
1. I turn the middle tone pot all the way down. hum gets much better in neck and nec/middle. still noisy in the rest of the pickups.
2. the bottom tone knob doesnt change the hum in all of the pickups, its still really loud.
does anyone know what the problem is?
thanks!
