    Genz Benz GBE 1200 Hum/Buzz

    Hey all, just picked up a Genz Benz GBE 1200, and while it sounds great it has a nasty buzz present on both the fet and tube channels.

    Ibanez SR655 neck pickup humming

    I have an Ibanez SR655 with Nordstrand CND pickups in a Reverse P/J configuration. Over the last several months I have noticed a relatively significant hum when balancing the pups at 50-50 or soloing the neck pickup. The noise goes away when soloing the bridge pickup. This seems very odd...
