Unwanted fuzz in on recording! Help!

Anybody but Fostex, apparently...but I suspect this has less to do with Fostex than something else (Fostex really shouldn't be that bad). "Fuzz" to me, without some audio to hear personally, implies an overdriven input of some kind, or perhaps some radio noise. You sure the battery in the pickup is fresh?
My pick up doesn't use any batteries, and the machine records very well, it's just that I am trying to get as close to CD quality as possible and the tracks that I record on have a noticable fuzz. My fellow band member doesn't have this problem but he also uses a different pick up? What do you think?

It's hard to believe that this pickup is adding 'fuzz' to the mix unless the cable was somehow damaged removing part of the shielding. Other culprits are dirt in your trim pots or other poor connections.
It should sound like the .mp3 I posted at:

The "Jumbo Blonde" .mp3 at the bottom.
I used a George L acoustic sound hole pick-up into a Porta-07 then into a GINA.

The only way to give us the right idea is to create a small audio file that shows what you're talking about and post it somewhere for us to hear. If in the process of making that file you find that the audio file is fuzzier still than the original, then the problem is likely to be simply your sound card.
