Fender USA Jazz deluxe Pickup noise/J-retro installation issue.

[Shockwave]

Hey guys.

My USA Jazz Deluxe 5 with Noiseless Fender pups has had a pre-amp change, from the standard Fender one to a J-retro deluxe.

However since the change everytime i touch the pickup pole peices there is a large amount of buzz. Touching the bridge does not make buzz occur however. Only when i touch the pickups.

With the previous pre-amp it required the pickup ground to go to a grounding pin. With the J-Retro the pickups are supposed to be grounded to the J-retro itself it is currently wired like this.

These diagrams explain better.
