Hi everyone. As you all said... humming is annoying enough to make you literally want to smash the **** out of your guitar. I've had an Ibanez RG 270 for ages now, and it's suddenly started to hum really badly - especially when gain's turned up. I'm not so good on the tekky side of things, but I'm POSITIVE it's an earthing wire come loose, cos if it is humming, and then you touch one of the tuning nobs, or the metal bridge, it supresses it loads. My pedal's got an inbuilt gate, so it's quiet when not playing. But when I'm playing something quietly it's always there. NNNNNNNNRRRRGH. How can I fiddle and check the earthing wires? Maybe it's the amp? There's no comp around? Maybe the guitar??? I dont know! Any advice PLEASE!!!
