Step 15Oh no! Not feedback!
Yes, feedback. And not the good kind, either. Microphonic feedback.
I turned mine on and it played fine. Then I put on distortion. All you hear when I'm not hitting the strings is a whine just like a microphone when it feeds back.
Crap. How do I fix that? I think it had to do with me changing back to springs instead of the rubber things. Its Seymour Duncan's fault, the rubber things weren't long enough. But I bet that's the problem. I'll fix it when I get my new strings in.
If yours has a problem like that, check how it's connected. Switching to rubber tubing might help.

Klooa is right. I had the same problem with a S-D pickup, went back to rubber tubing (cut from a length of fuel hose from a model plane), but no difference. I wax potted mine and the microphonics went straight away.

It's not the springs. Either return the pickup, or Pot it in wax (Heat up some wax and dip it) This will stop the internal wires from vibrating, and kill the microphonics.
