Re: Mandobird pickup hum-Bad ground?
I always look for simplest first, it does sound like a ground problem, not a short but an open or poor connection. The most logical is the part that gets the most use and movement .. the output jack. Check it out for broken wire, loose nut etc etc. Inexpensive jacks sometimes the crimping that holds the threaded part on gets loose andcauses an open ground. If that is OK start checking grounding of all parts for loose nuuts, screws, solder connections. do it with guitar plugged in, you may move the part with the problem to show you where to look.
