I have had my Bongo for about two months and started noticing a 60 cycle hum on the bridge pickup. The neck pickup is noise free. Any ideas about the cause and a fix would be appreciated. It almost sounds like a single coil noise.
 
If you don't get any ideas over the weekend call EBMM Customer Service on Monday.
They will surely help you solve the problem.
 
My Bongo 5HH is DEAD quiet... can't say the same for the Sterling HH (those have some hum by design as told by EBMM customer service)

No hum in my bongo 5HH or sterling 5H or even my new SBMM sub.
 
No hum or any kind of noise on any of my basses, I think I have every configuration possible except for piezo
