Noise problem

[stuggy]

I recently put a Duncan performer Detonator humbucker in my Bullet.I've grounded it a couple different ways and it's still noisey as hell.I was wondering if i'm doing something wrong or if it's just that noisey.I'm talking about when i plug it into the amp,and hit the distortion.Without hitting any strings it's noisey.When i switch to the singl coil pups it's quiet.It's basically the Duncan Invaders little brother.I'm thinking about replacing it with something different.In a reveiw someone said it rated at like 16 ohms is that the problem?

Well, I can recommend the Dimarzio DP-156, it's alnico and it's got a good rep for a strat. I have one in the neck of a tele.

try making the green hot & black wire to ground

I read someplace it's greater than 16 K ohms - 16 000 ohms, very strong signal output.
