Some hum is normally unavoidable with single coils. Grounding yourself well via the strings either a) grounds your body so that it absorbs a lot of the RF noise in the air near the guitar or b) stops your body acting as an aerial and feeding noise to the pickups (or a mixture of both - different people have different opinions).
Have you grounded your copper tape at all? Unless it's connected to ground, it's not going to do much to cut down hum. And some hum from amps is magnetic in nature (mainly the transformers), which tape won't do much to reduce. All you can do is distance yourself from the amp and turn to find the least noisy position. I've got one amp (a Laney Ironheart) which gives out a lot more hum than my other amps, even comes through a bit on humbuckers.
Hi Simon, I was thinking I hadn't grounded the tape, so thats on my to do list. Cheers.

Much happier. "working from home today" got to love it. Stripped the electrics out, unsoldered everthing, double checked the wiring diagram and started again, including a ground to the shielding this time.
Far better, nice and quite, 4 distinct tones from the switch, we are almost there with this one now, just got to find out why my B string sounds a bit dead compaired to everything else when played open, fretted it sounds fine.

Probably the nut slot or slot angle.
Finished Finished this time, solved the dead B string issue. I took the bone nut out and replaced it with an allparts graphite one I had in my ever growing box of bits, all good. So as Simon mentioned there was something wrong with the nut slot. Thanks Simon.
Intonation is also done, as close as I can get it. With the wilkinson bridge, to get it to line up with the "through body" holes and be able to get the scale length right I had to find some longer saddle screws to allow them to move forward far enough.
I'll wait till the sun shines get some outside pics show of the shine for the GOTM thread.
Introducing it to the rest of the PB family.
