I recently put nickel humbucker covers onto a regular 6 pole piece humbucker. it has 6 slugs and 6 screws.
Whenever i try playing something, the pickups buzz and ring really high-pitched screeching noises. i DID solder the cover down. what the heck is going on, and how can i fix this? please help!
By the way, I soldered the metal covers to the baseplate.
Why did you put the metal covers on your pickups? Who told you to solder them down? I am not clear on why you would solder them. Just where did you solder them to on the pickup. It sounds to me that you are grounding something out on your pickups. My guess is that happened when you solder the covers on. Are the poles touching the metal cover any place? I don't think they should.
I'll check back to see if you say where on the pickup you soldered.
Soldering to the base pllate should have been all right assuming the solder joint is not near where the lead wires come out. I presume you tested the pickups before you added the covers so you know that they were in good working order. The cover has to be shorting the pu out somewhere. I still suspect the solder joint. The that area may have gotten too hot and some solder flowed down onto the coil. That would short the pup out. It does not seem likely you would have used that much solder and heat. Did you remove the protective tape from around the coils before you added the covers? If so, that might have allowed the coils to touch the cover somewhere.
This is a puzzle. The pup has to be shorting out. If it worked all right before you put the cover on it, something in adding the cover has to be shorting it out. If you did not remove the protective tape from around the coils, The solder must have gotten down into the coils, as unlikely as that seems.
Have you checked your wiring to make sure you have it wired back in correctly and there is no short in the wiring circuit? Maybe the problem is not the pup, but how it was wired back in.
