Personally I feel that all too much attention is given to fan noise. Solid state output devices need to be cooled to be safe to operate. A fan is the easiest and most efficient means to do so.
Fridge is a sore subject in my home. One of ours died and left us with a pile of food to cook or give away! Replacement arrives sometime on Saturday the 11th. Bah Humbug!!
I use a pair of 2x10s stacked on their ends for a vertical 4x10. The top cabinet lets me hear what I'm playing and both together disperse around the room far better.
Single coils are notorious for picking up noise. This is what I was getting to with my post. You might be able to resolve the problem by screening the control cavity and under pickup area with copper self adhesive tape. It's fairly easy to do.
We just got snow and piles of it!! Biggest snow storm in decades! Some of the neighbours got together with our snow shovels and Ice picks and cleared the snow from driveways and walkways. it's not work when you're with a bunch of friends just fun!
