I have checked and tried everything you guys have mentioned above and I finally replaced them with some no name I had lying around and voila, hum has disapeared so the only conclusion I can get here is faulty pickups. Thank you all for your help guys.

Thank you for your replys guys, but I have allready checked everything again and again, surprisingly everything is properly grounded/soldered so I don't get it, there shouldn't be any noise but there, it's still here. Is there something else I should try, maybe different pots? Could it be...

Recently a friend installed those baby's on his squier vm jazz and they sound pretty amazing but.... when he touches the tuners or anyone from the 4 upper polepieces on both pickups you can hear a hum like there is no ground on that part of them. I have checked all solderings and found nothing...

You mean that I might be able to try the existing values without the preamp?Right?

As I have mentioned above they are active pickups.Sadly there is no active pickup only schematic, everything on the Warwick site has the preamp on and since the pickups are quite expensive I 'd like to give them a shot before I move on to something else. My problem is about pot values, thanks...

I've been wondering what if I remove the onboard preamp from my Rockbass Corvette Classic but not the active pickups. But as I don't want to damage any electronic parts inside the cavity I thought I'd better use new pots. Seymour Duncan recomends for their active pickups 100k pots but Warwick...
