Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just acquired a gorgeous MapleGlo 1997 Ric 360. This gorgeous guitar recently had a professional setup. My 360 has a problem with hum, made worse by increased gain. The hum is directional (if I "aim" the back of the guitar at the amp, it decreases almost to zero).

Is this a typical issue with Ric "hi-gain" pups (these are true humbuckers, aren't they?)?

Welcome Jerry. Ric has three p/u, vintage toasters, hi-gains and humbucking. Humbucking pickups are found on the 600 series Rics. If that's what you're asking.
Someone else might be able to help you with your 'hum' problem. You might pose the question on the 'Technical' topics of the forum.

Thanks Stan, I'll move it on over there.
