i cant wire : (

[-Rhaab]

So i installed my tone zone bridge and the neck off my ibanez, with new pickup switch and volume pot (no tone)
and it makes noise like as much as the single coil mode (middle), even the neck which previously didnt.
and im 100% sure i got the wiring right, and i checked the grounds and its all where it should.

could it be the solder i use? which i think is a multicore rosin tin/lead
I know how to solder so i didnt fry anything or have any bad connections

if nothing can help i'll just try new solder, and get some copper shielding

It wouldnt be the solder. Are you sure nothing is shorting anywhere?

[-Rhaab]

nope, everythings where it should, i even tried 1pickup 1volume with the tone zone and it made some noise.

[elcid]

Did you maybe mix up your ground at the jack?

[-Rhaab]

nope
didnt do anything to the jack

Is the gound hooked up on the trem claw?

Yes.

The ground goes the to the case of the volume pot, then to the spring claw. If it's not grounded to the claw, there will be audible hum.

I think i figured it out now
I turned the gain up, held the guitar in the air and started moving it around, flipping it upside down, point it up, down.. ect. and at some points it went pretty much noiseless, so i guess that black stuff smeared in my guitar cavity is nothing, i even used the multimeter and it wasnt conductive. So my guitar has no sort of shielding

I just have to find some copper sheets/tape and cover the inside

Standard kitchen aluminium foil is just as good as copper for shielding with the added bonus of being cheaper and easier to install.
