the pumps run hot from the factory, if you have a trim pot turn it down a bit. they come set at about "9" most of us run them at about "4". if it's not a trim pot version, you might want to swap it for one. the non trim pot pumps can be so hot they get hiss when the treb is boosted. check the wiring around the jack and pots, resolder if necessary. sometimes the ground to the jack gets frayed and gets loose.
you don't need to shield everything with that setup, they should be noiseless without it.
on another note, swapping the hz's for emg DC's in that bass is a killer setup, if your into modding.
