Quiet!!! Finally!!! Disconnecting the ground from the blend did NOT work. But I noticed that the red signal wire and the brown power wire were wrapped together!?! Anyone should know that you always keep signal and power separate! I separated them and moved the power around away from the signal wire and my hum is completely gone! So what I have at the moment: I have put everything back to the way it was when I bought it The red pickup wires are not connected to anything. There are no new ground wires run anywhere. I separated the brown and red preamp wires (just cut the black wrap) and moved them away from eachother. Hum GONE!!! To those others who have solved this issue by re-soldering and fiddling around, did you separate those wires as well?

I connected all the red wires as you instructed and the buzz got much quieter but I did get a scratchy blend. I disconnected them again and the buzz came back and the scratch went. So I can confirm that the scratchyness in the blend pot did go away when I disconnected the red pickup wires again. A ground wire between the bass, treb, an volume had no effect for me. Found these Aguiler wiring diagrams, one of which (page 1) looks just like my wiring EXCEPT there is no ground connection between the volume and blend. Maybe that's our problem? I'll cut mine and see if that works. http://www.aguilaramp.com/pdf/support_wiring_obp2.pdf
