STOP Noisy BFG

[Lammas Day]

Hi Guys,

 

First off, I LOVE my BFG, I love it's aesthetic, I love its weight, I love its look - can't understand why people sand down the finish and do something else, it's BEAUTIFUL, I love the neck, I love the clear plastic plexi backs to the electrics.

 

I am annoyed at turning the kill switch on during the occasional upstroke... but that's for another thread.

 

I love that f()cker, I love it a lot.

 

I have got a couple of other guitars, and it was after everyone had gone out the house I thought - I know, lets go upstairs and make some noise. I was playing a bit (experimenting with pinched harmonics at the moment), so I was just riffing a bit, squealing a bit, a bit of dropped D chugging... it then occurred to me that - there's a lot of noise, not in a good way.

 

Essentially, if I wasn't playing, I was feeding back. It was pretty loud, but I unplugged, got down my beautiful (in a different way) Ebony SG Standard - same levels on the head, didn't touch anything, just plugged the SG straight in... there was hardly a sound, obviously if I stood RIGHT in front it fed back, bit that's to be expected. But the BFG... gah!... I had to literally stand outside the room with the amp-cab in to get it to shut up.

 

 

Can anyone suggest something which might chill this BFG the f()ck out?

 

I know there's a lot of talk of shielding, the cavity but especially the kill switch cable - would this make any difference?

 

Any suggestions?
