Most of the guitars I've owned over the years were equipped with humbuckers, so my experience with single coil hum is limited. I have a baritone with soapbars that hums unbelievably when I'm not using both pickups (either parallel or series). The tween settings are fine for me: enough twang and woof to make me happy and dead quiet. But I was wondering: what helps? Would shielding the pickup cavity and control cavity help? Do the hum cancelling and "virtual vintage" p-90's sound good?
Are there any other strategies for dealing with it? Or is that part of the p-90's "charm", like the puddle of oil beneath a BSA motorbike?
