ksd 705 noise problem

hi this is my first thread, i have a big noise problem in my ksd 705,let me explain, since i bought it (used) i noticed big hum noise when i moved the blend to use one of the two pickups, when i used it in active mode the sound was unbearable , recently i upgraded the preamp to an aguilar obp3, now it is installed(according to the wiring diagram) all the grounds are connected to one point(the output jack ground terminal) i check all the connections and seem to be ok,

but the noise is not gone, i used the old blend pot i´m thinking that it would be a part of the problem, but i don´t know if anyone have a similar problem with this bass, could pickups be the problem?

please if you have any advice , any thread that say something or any experience , it can be helpful for me
