I mucked around with the amp settings and that did the trick!...somewhat. I now have "Treble" at around 5 or 6 and "Bass" at 4 or 5. Maybe that's why the '62 Strat and '65 Twin are so compatible, because the Midrange plays a factor in the sound...

1) change you position on stage and do not stop playing
2) get kinman pickups...they sound great and are silent...

Semi-unrelated (meaning, half-related?) but do Ric pick-ups hum slightly?
My 360's bridge pick-ups seems to produce some very soft humming by its own - is that normal?
I don't mind, but my Paul Gilbert Ibanez slinging teacher did, I think...

I don't detect any hum from my 325's bridge position.
The best way to eliminate hum on a Strat? Put the switch in the bridge/middle position...that's where the tone is! Set it and forget it!

Like all single coil pickups they will buzz some.

I know, but still, but then... does't bother me. And it doesn't keep my teacher from playing Van Halen on the 360
