Epiphone thunderbird pickup buzzing noise

Had to replace the pots in my t-bird Classic IV. Put in c.t.s. pots., everything is wired as from the factory. Solder connections are good and tight yet I'm getting this buzzing noise. It goes away if you touch anything that is in the ground circuit (strings, pot body, even the end of the cable). Bad jack? Any thoughts?
