Sorry to open up the thread.
I have an aerodyne jazz. I have just installed Seymore Duncan quater pound on the J pick up. The the J pick up already buzzed a bit when it was full on with no P in the mix. After I installed the you SD, I noticed the buzzing stopped completely when I touched the bridge. I'm using Trybass strings, so just touching the strings doesn't work as the strings are coated with nylon
Any thoughts, I checked the earth goes to the bridge, but If I could grow an extra arm, I'd be fine ;-)

i have the same problem when using coated strings,im using 2x seymour duncan quater lb jazz pickups i have tried replacing all the pots ect, checked thebridge connection but still.it hums.
it has been suggested that i remove the pickups and use some copper tape (available on ebay) to shield the pickup cavities, i have not tried this yet but its gotta be worth a go. apperantly its something to do with the coated strings and single coil pickups.
im gonna try it next week ill update accordingly.
hope this helps.
