I just refinished my basement studio, with all new walls, ceiling, electrical work and carpet. I was so excited to plug in my Fender amp and play a few power chords when I turned the power on and......"mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
That loud, annoying amp hum, with nothing plugged in, only the power on.
I tried everything--different outlets, a $40 monster guitar cable, and the best i could get was turning off all the lights in the basement (which are all on dimmers BTW) and plugging into one outlet on the other side of the room that seemed to have less hum than all the others.
How, oh how, can I fix this? Ironically I had a dispute with my electrician over the labor charges and he won't be coming back, so I'm hoping someone out there may have some good advice.
