KAPT Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I have played this guitar for about one month. Few days ago it started hum after half hour of playing. My computer caused it. The hum is louder than what comes from my RGs passive pickups. Is there some bad soldering? Is it some specific wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarMaestro Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 This is normal if you have a crt-monitor and no flat screen. What you hear is the refresh rate of the monitor. And it's different between different PU's. PU's with higher output for example amplify the noise more. And singlecoils are way more sensible to unwanted noise then humbuckers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAPT Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yes but it wasn't that loud before. And I thought that active humbuckers are more quiet than passive pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
