        <![CDATA[ 

The other day i fit in two L90 humbuckers, which are godlike btw, into my esp eclipse, replacing two silly EMG&#39;s.

I also installed trebble bleeding capacitators on the volume pots.


Now i have a &quot;crackling noise&quot; loop, which isnt caused by my amp, but the guitar. When i touch the volume knobs(500k goldo),

the noise goes away. Is that a grounding issue?


I also soldered the bridge grounding wire to the back of the volume pot like shown in the diagram below.

What can i do... ]]>

Where are these articles? There used to be a lot more on the website if I recall, but can&#39;t find half them anymore, nor all the old posts from Bill on the
forum. Kind of disappointing really.

			<description><![CDATA[ I solved it. Luckily it was just a bad/cold solder point on my part. Silly me.
<br>
I take everything bad back i said about esp, lol.
<br>
Anyway the guitar sounds way better w/o the treble mod, and L90&#39;s are the sexiest humbuckers ever!
<br>
Thread closed, happy end i love you all <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif">

			<description><![CDATA[ Here we go. I removed the trebble mod - no change. There are no electronic sources interfering - checked that.
<br>
I soldered the black and the blue wire on the back of the pots in the first place. Also insulated and combined red &amp; green.
<br>
The rest of the wiring i took from the SD diagram.
<br>
I really suspect now that the guitar cavity is poorly shielded as fuzzy pointed out. Interesting to mention i didnt have any annoying noises when i soldered
two OBL 900XL
<br>
into my 200... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi 111111 and welcome!
<br>
Sounds like you&#39;ve got a &quot;hizz&quot; and not a &quot;hum&quot; related issue.
<br>
A passive guitar circuit doesn&#39;t really &quot;have room&quot; for ground loops. This problem is not actually caused by the guitar and it&#39;s not really a
grounding issue either, because the noise disappears when you touch guitar hardware. 
<br>
BLs have superb treble response and will pickup electric noise in the room other pickups do not sense. Check the shielding and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Wire it up the way with the standard wiring hopdybob has provided. Treble bleed mods are generally not a great idea - they&#39;re too setup-specific, and
without much benefit with Bill&#39;s pickups. They already provide a generous amount of high end. I would recommend getting rid of the mod. If you still have a
problem afterwards, let us know! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ this is the wire colour code for the l500 and i think it is the same as the l90
