Location: Canada | My Breadwinner is picking up radio frequencies!! It's especially clear on the single coil phase mode with the neck pickup. Anyone else have this problem?? Funky electronics!! |

Location: Canada | I think it's just cause of the old electronics. Buzzes too especially when I touch the neck humbucker. Tried every damn patch cord I have (well almost). Tried like 20+ patch cords so I don't think it's the problem. |

Location: Canada | I dunno what it's called you know the switch that changes the humbucker sound to single coil sound. When changed to single coil sound mode, it picks up radio frequencies even more, I can like listen to the radio thru my guitar. |

Location: Scotland | This is a midrange notch, which dips the response at around 600Hz. If it's picking up RF only when the notch is in it would suggest component failure or possibly just a dry joint on the earth side of the PU. The circuitry is pretty basic, schematics are available & most competent techs can make good.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | The older larger single coils. I find they can sound more like humbuckers than the later pickups do, but they have awesome freq response when played clean. |
