No, if we'd been comedians you would have received a hail of "well don't touch them then" responses

I had this problem with a bass once and found that the bridge wire was connected to one pot, the output jack earth was connected to the other pot but the two pot bodies weren't connected meaning the first pot was not earthed properly.

yep - that'll cause a problem. Basically - test for continuity from the strings / bridge to the Earth Pin on the amp mains lead.
(Assuming 3 wire connection)

Eureka!! Here's the answer; swap the necks over and play your P with a jazz neck. Then ditch the jazz. Easy"
