Hi everyone!! I m an Indian classical musician playing the electric mandolin. I am a disciple of mandolin u. shrinivas. In my recent concerts i get this really annoying hum sound,occasionally followed by minor electrical shocks. i have been asking around and almost everyone i referred to adviced me to change my pick-up. But since there are so many makes and brands, i m at a complete loss. I noticed that almost everyone in this amazing cafe are so knowledgeable about such technical know-how. so i humbly request you to please help me with choosing the ideal pick-up. Thank you. to give u an idea about the tone of my instrument, here is a link to one of my concert video.

I want to retain this tone but eliminate the hum and the occasional shock. please help.
P.S another important aspect i forgot to mention is the electrical wiring system of the venue. In India, not all venues have safe wiring systems. So that's why i was advised for a pick-up change. That's d only thing i can do to improve my current situation.
