Pickup "click"

[Waspinators]

Sometimes when I lightly touch or tap my strings, a click sound comes from my amp. It kind of sounds like a static discharge. Is something wrong with my pickups?

Are you sure your action is so low that when you tap the strings, the strings hit the pickups?

 

[Groover]

I agree with that. Try lowering your pickup.

 

[Waspinators]

Hehe I thought of that, but no.

O.K. then, is it on every string or a certain string? Could there be a high fret?

If the poles are exposed Put a piece of Electrical Tape over them.

I have a similar problem. When i just touch the area around my neck pup, i hear a clicking sound from my amp. It really only interferes with my playing when im playing on the E string and my fingers hit the pguard. Im curious to hoe people suggest solving this problem

Same problem here, I'm on board for the read.

Hmm, I was at someone else's house when I was hearing the click, and now at my house it seems to have gone away. Must've been some sort of interference or something?
