lownote Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi I would be so grateful for a steer on my buzz/hum. I have just bought an Aria STB PB. It's going thru a previously faultless and quite new TC BH250 head. With volume and tone turned up full i get loud hum/buzz. This:[list] [*]disappears if I touch the lead outercasing [*]disappears if I turn the tone right down [*]slightly worsens if I touch the pick up poles [*]is not affected by touching the strings or bridge [/list] Anybody had similar or could tell me what's needed? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Have you tried a new lead first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It sounds like an earth problem, most likely there will be a loose or broken wire inside. If you can solder it should be a very easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
