Did this just start happening or was it a gradual thing?

Tim M.

are you using EMG pots? If you are using pots that are 500K or 250K then sound is going to bleed through every time. You cant just rip passives out and put in actives with the same electronics. The pots and the jack have to be replaced.

Shaun

Stereo jack.
25k pots.
There were no pickups in it to begin with.
I didnt "rip" anything out

Could you just buy new pots?

Shaun

Yes, and they work,
So thats good.
gonna wire it up tonight.

Norseman

Cool. Good luck man.

You didn't ground the bridge, did you?

Shaun
