Hoping you can help with a question - I just put these in my Tele with the 4 way switch and I'm getting a lot of hum when I am in bridge only and neck only selection.  Is that normal? Did I mess up my wiring?

[rafport]

@charlieczerwinski hi, i guess you did same mistake as me and i guess as anyone on this world, because hot pole was the black! you have the baseplate on bridge at the positive instead of negative/ground at it should be. so you get hum and a bad feedback if you use distortion at volume. check with the tester :)

[charlieczerwinski]

@rafport Thanks for responding - so are you saying that black is actually hot? I should switch my wiring for bridge only? Strange thing is that I am getting the hum in neck pickup too - did you have that problem?

[rafport]

@charlieczerwinski i remind most in bridge, because the baseplate do like a mic and feedback a lot. anyway if inverted positive and negative you'll get even the metal cover on bridge on hot pole. you can check with a tester. if you have 3 wires (now i dont rembember if they was 3 on both pickups) you can put in phase or out, no difference but the metal external to pickup need to be in ground. before unsolder you should check, but i remind well that seeking for a solution for me i notice

[rafport]

@charlieczerwinski the metal part go to positive and as i did not mistake in soldering, i invert the wires and all become perfect and no feedback, putting colour (yellow maybe i not sure i mount a ton of pickups) on ground and black in the selector. a very strange thing!

i hope its the podxt that makes it sound so shitty and not the guitar

Did the bridge pickup sqeel like a microphone before you removed the base plate? I think I am having the same problem and may remove my baseplate too.

@EL841 Deezer purtroppo mi sa che gli hanno fatto la pelle le major, non sia mai che riesci ad ascoltarti legalmente un po di musica decente (pian piano hanno levato quasi tutto) e che dia visibilità anche ad artisti emergenti. si si ci becchiamo qua, mi sembra di aver visto dei tuoi post su accordo (cercavo tempo fa info sugli l-pad). dammi notizie quando hai nuovo materiale dei cd, sono curioso di sentirlo! e grazie anora delle parole di incoraggiamento :)
