Hello!
Just installed an EMG81 into my guitar. Used the first and easiest soldering diagram in the manual using just the volume-pot and no tone-controlls and only one pickup (first diagram in the list).

I've doublechecked the diagram connections and all my soldering with a multimeter to be ok.
If I touch the pickup there is a "hum" sound, pretty loud. Same if I touch the volume-pot chasing. If I touch the outputjack at the same time the "hum" is dramatically reduced but not gone. I also tried connecting another EMG81 pickup but that did not solve the problem, so its not a faulty pickup.
Any idea of how to fix this, i'm in the middle of a studio recording so....
