put a wedge of lime in it…. 
seriously, now...can you bypass the preamp to see if it IS the preamp? |

before you go there....what happens when you turn the treble tone knob down? is hiss reduced?
if so, then hiss is probably from pickups and just emphasized by the preamp....
if no, then hiss is coming from preamp... |

but basically....you're best off to have your pickup cavities shielded, your control cavity shielded, and then have
your pickups, bridge, knobs, jack, and shields properly connected to one common screw in the control cavity...
this is referred to as a "star" ground and ensures that all grounds are references to a common point. It really does help eliminate noise. |
