Thanks Big John
My LP Has Been Invaded by Those Noisy Gremlins (Solved!: Post #43)

SOLVED! But I had to cheat...
I gave the output jack a closer look while installed in the guitar. Using a mirror, I could clearly see what the connected jack looks like in its cavity. The connection to the tip-lug and the lug itself is extremely close to the cavity wall surrounding the jack. I bent inwards the lug and reconnected the wiring, but this time I added some heat shrink tubing to cover the connection to the jack's tip lug. So did this finally resolved the issue? Ha ha... NO!!
So, I cheated...: I shielded the output jack's cavity wall plus the plastic plate that supports the jack with some copper tape. The copper tape is grounded because the jack is grounded. Anyways... Voila! It's all good now and I think I'm through with obsessing with this stupid crisis I conjured up. Still kind of irks me that I could not figure out why my LP began to gradually develop that buzzing noise. I think that @Ramo 's Tele-curse mutated into my LP...
Pics of the final fiasco to come.
Thanks to y'all for sticking with me with good advise and humor...
Shield you must if quiet you wish...

LMAO Robert NOW you are gonna make me whip out the plastic ear story.
True True True story. My life was forever changed all due to the stories of this Viet Nam Vet and evangelist.
One Sunday, my high school friend, Cheryl took me to church. A man named David Roever would be speaking that day.
It was this particular Sunday that I was meant to have my eyes opened to the Gospel and just what Jesus did for me. It just so happens to be that Mr Roever was a Viet Nam vet who was badly injured and suffered burns to his face, hands, torso from a Phosphorus Grenade that apperently was struck by a sniper's bullet just as he had it cocked back to throw.
He goes on to tell how he married his High School sweetheart, he left her for duty a bit rough around the edges but still a Godly man who would become a soldier. Her love for him and his God are what he said meant the difference between living and dying as a result of the burns. He had to have loads of surgeries, one being to rebuild his hand with parts off his hip, and he says he sports a plastic Prosthetic ear. He also told how hard things were that we take for granted, like blinking and the normal tear functions of our eyelids. His were damaged so bad it is a wonder he can see.
Anyway, during his testimony he says he liked guitar and could play the piano. He then says he plays by ear. His Plastic ear,,,,,,,, He motions like to take it off and play the keys with it as he rips through some pretty piece of music on the church piano. He also said he never thought he'd be able to have kids because of the damage.
Then he says, he has 2 kids and he knows they are his. Because they have plastic ears.

I've played through a lot of amps, many of the custom builds for colleague's in the Musician's Union and other amps from boutique builders. I'm sure they are all fine specimens.
But, this is the first time I've ever heard someone churn out the tone I hear in my head...

I think so...outdoor I use a 4x12 Jackson/Eminence 250 watt cabinet.
Indoors, it's a 2x12 cabinet with a 50 watt WGS Reaper 55Hz and a 80 watt Jensen Stealth Neodymium.
I have blown up two sets of English Celestions. This is the only combo - thus far - that's holding up...
