basses Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've just wired in some new pickups and having an issue with buzz. The pickups are a fender 63 precision and a custom shop Jazz. When i first wired them in they were out of phase when hooked up as per the schematic so i reversed the wires on one pick up. Ok so now they're in phase but the Jazz pickup that i reversed had a horrible buzz when you touch the pole pieces. I swap the wires back and flip the wires on the p bass pick up. Now the Jazz pickup is fine but the p pickup is buzzing. Basically which ever pick up i flip gets a buzz. If i leave em wired as per the schematic they're out of phase. it's bad enough to render the pickups un-useable so hoping some one can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefyst Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 sounds like when your flipping the pickup the polepieces arent grounded anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Are we taking 2 or 4 wire pick ups? Both new & old? Assuming the original pick ups were fine, in phase & no buzz - I would swap back one of the pick ups with the original & see which one of your new is out of phase.
