MKB	Re: Microphonic Invader You might want to try potting the pickup. Sometimes the hardware in a pickup can become microphonic as well as the windings. If you pot the entire pickup, the hardware and windings should stabilize. Be careful that you don't heat the bobbin too much, I found that the plastic on SD bobbins doesn't resist heat too much. There have been several threads here in the past on potting pickups which should help you. Good luck!
