i just got ahold of one of the old DeArmond 210 soundhole pickups. the cable was pretty cracked up so i decided to remove it, clean the pickup a bit and reattach a new cable with a 1/4" plug instead of the jack. the issue i have is that the pickup is making a pretty bad humming/buzzing sound which totally goes away if i touch my finger to the pickup. the cable i used was one i had laying around from another project. could that be the issue. any ideas?

Sounds like a ground thing... Is the cable unshielded? Is the pickup case connected to ground properly?
Thats all i got...
