I had high hopes with the suggestions offered above but still have a hum - though lower in volume it is still there. New problem is neck pickup doesn't work. I have attached pics of the new wiring harness and a (prob easier to read) schematic of the connections.
One thing - some of the wires I was using for longer runs were braided metal wires - thought they would be better at shielding. I now realize the outer braids of these wires should be grounded to pots as well right?
Any other suggestions before i rip it all out and start again???
