Dynasonic covers buzz

Hi all,

On my 6120DE I noticed there is an electrical buzz when I touch the metal cover (or metal case rather) of both the dynasonic pickups.

Otherwise everything works fine: no buzzing, the bridge is properly grounded, etc.
It’s only when I touch the pickup covers, and only when the pickup is active and the volume is up.

I wonder if you have that on your dynasonics too?

Cheers

 

Thanks a lot for the tip!
Since I had posted my OP, I found out the issue (metal case not grounded), because if I touch it while I touch the strings (which are grounded) there’s no buzz indeed.
I was thinking about soldering a ground lead, but your idea is great!

 

Thanks but that’s not a wiring issue: it is indeed the metal case that is not grounded. I’ll have to connect it to the pickup ground wire, because if I put the case to ground the buzz disappears completely.

 

Oh all right, did not understand you had done it. Thanks for the info! But I guess it’s easier to ground the case than to fish out the pots to reverse the connections though.

 

Thanks a lot, I’ve just read the two threads with attention, and since I’m rather handy with my soldering iron, I think I’ll go for the solution of soldering a ground wire next time I change my strings.
