Problem - noise when touching pole pieces of pick ups

Getting lots of noise when you touch the poles, 2 'new' sets of SPB-1s here doing the same thing!

On one set I've investigated I'm getting a resistance reading between the pole pieces & the common wire, after scratching through the varnish on the back of one pole , the reading between pole & ground wire on one coil is 23 Ohms, the other 16 Ohms. The resistance of each coil is 5.7/5.8 K Ohms, total across output wires is 11.6 K Ohms.

All earth connections are good, checked with multimeter.

Probably completely unrelated, but I had a problem with my Jazz and some new Dimarzio pickups. No noise when playing or not, but If I put my finger on the scratch plate about 1 cm from the neck pickup I got a static type of sound. I found that (and this may not have been the cause) the scratch plate was touching the pickup covers, so with a nail file I gently filed away until I got a small gap and the problem went away.
