Hum from humbucker?

10/6/1999 11:33 PM
Antidote	Hum from humbucker? I am using a SD Custom custom humbucer in my ESP, and it hums like a single-coil, especially at high gain. The hum is sensitive to orientation wrt the amp, like a single coil. I have inspected the wiring and both coils are connected in series and are functional. Anyone out there have any insight into what might be causing this? The other two pickups are SD cool rails, and don't hum in the least. I thought humbuckers were supposed to buck hum! Thanks in advance for any help!
