Are you like crazy ? shakehead.gif

When there's a thunderstorm, you have to off every single equipment in the house, be it the modem, computer, air-con, TV, radio. And just to be extra save .... i always unplug all power cables from the plugs during a thunderstorm.

I have never had a burnt modem or a burnt PSU and never got shocked before biggrin.gif

I think its possible ... coz your body completes the cycle flow of the electricity. sweat.gif

I can't think of having 100K++ Watts going through your amp and your guitar sweat.gif

echo try and open the back cover of your gutiar and see if the wire to your bridge is connected properly. . . sometimes the solder will drop if not done properly. . . if not then check our plug points for non-3 pin stuffs. . . happened recently or very long already?

and man, blackangel you're one lucky dude. . . still can laugh. . .xD your guitar now i presume plays much better? your pup just got 1000Volts extra. . . i think can own EMG pups d. . xD nothing fried? cause i'm surprised the pup didn't fry. . your amp for that matter

ive opened up to check the cables. however, i dont see any linking to the bridge (its a les paul). its not wired like my strat. as for 2 pin plugs, how to check as theres no earth pin in the first place? (the gt8 uses a 2pin). it just happened and i posted as soon as it started occuring. (dont know for how long as i havent touch my electric for a few days. hehe).

pix, looking bck at the flash us thread, do u still have ur peavey amp?

i see your problem. . . =D i changed my GT-6 at home to connect to a seperate 3-pin connector. . . this way i had no hum. . . i suggest you find those 2 to 3 pin heads from the DIY shop. . . your problem should disapear soon after =D

hope my advice helps

cheers
