I am getting some hum when recording. It only happens with a few of my twelve guitars. The odd part is that it is the worst with two of my three humbucker guitars (the other humbucker guitar is quiet), and to lesser extent with a P-90 guitar. It doesn't seem to be the guitars themselves, as they are quiet as can be even with the amp volume and gain turned up full. None of my other guitars, even single coils, have any problem. I only play and record clean and at low levels.
These guitars are, as I said, quiet until I activate the mic. Then I get hum that stops as long as I am contacting the strings, or bridge (even better).
I have tried both condenser mics and dynamic mics, SM-57 and a made in USA Peavey. Happens with all. I am using a Tascam DP-0008, and its phantom power for the condenser mics.
This has me stumped since the guitars that exhibit this are quiet until the mic is activated.
Any thoughts? This is driving me crazy (not a long drive for me).
