I've just wired in some new pickups and having an issue with buzz.

The pickups are a fender 63 precision and a custom shop Jazz.

When i first wired them in they were out of phase when hooked up as per the schematic so i reversed the wires on one pick up. Ok so now they're in phase but the Jazz pickup that i reversed had a horrible buzz when you touch the pole pieces. I swap the wires back and flip the wires on the p bass pick up. Now the Jazz pickup is fine but the p pickup is buzzing. Basically which ever pick up i flip gets a buzz. If i leave em wired as per the schematic they're out of phase. it's bad enough to render the pickups un-useable so hoping some one can help

Buzz = ground is missing

Check solder , broken wire , missing wire

Give the link of your wiring .

Hi
I used this with one of the pick-ups flipped. The buzz has something to do with flipping the wires. When i flipped the j that buzzed when i put it back and flipped the p it was the p that buzz and the j went back to being quiet

Pickups blacks wires are the negative and should go to the guitar ground . No other way .

Do the wiring like that and report . Check all your solder and wiring .

Not sure , post picture of your wiring

You can't reverse pickups phase by reversing wire , you must flip or turn PU 180 degree.
