Hum ?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a fairly new Geddy, stock. I just noticed that when I back off the volume knobs the hum increases a bunch. Is this normal?

Thanks

Yes, single coils hum, especially when the volumes are not equal with each other.
It can be minimized with good shielding and proper grounding
