Re: Help! 60 Hz hum from Bass control

Keith	Re: Help! 60 Hz hum from Bass control Hi! It was the wire connected to the cap off the treble control. My layout is unusual in several respects due to space considerations. Everything past the PI is wired in a vertical plane against the back wall, while the preamp sections are in the standard Fender layout on a board with turret lugs. I am using almost exclusively NOS 2W carbon comp resistors. (Overkill, but they were free and they should dissipate heat better due to their larger size, and heat contributes to noise, etc.) Got to go to work, but I'll post more later. Keith
