Didn't know where to post this so feel free to move
My neck pickup has an unbearable hum, so overpowering I can't use that pickup. It's a Schecter Studio 5 with EMG hz's. I've had it about 2 1/2 years.
I have posted a sound clip. 0:00-0:24 I have the EQ flat and blend 50/50, and I alternate between bridge and neck.
At 0:24 I boosted the mids and treble so you can get a better idea, and did the same thing.

The hum is evident no matter where I play. Sometimes it gets worse but it's always present. It increases/decreases when I change direction sometimes.
What do you think could be causing this? I'm leaning toward either shielding or ground issue. I know single coil pickups will have a little hum (and the bridge does) but that doesn't explain why it's so much more powerful in the neck
