Touche' Pete,
As long as were talking bout the guy Big Momma Thorton or Jim Morrison is singing about! LOLOLOL I knew someone was going to pick up on that and mess with me    OH the front door is working fine now also.

but why waste teh money on it< best way to learn is to become victorious over the issue LOLOLOL
I really think a power conditioner would be your best bet.

Its a ground issue,    a lot of guitars will do that (strat type / single coil in first toggle position are notorious for low dollar  types)) but not very bad. when you touch the bridge, you become the ground. but in your case,, I would recommend something like this  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor … ian-bundle  or this if you think your cable is good
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor … er-pro-200  (but 10 more for another cable is a good deal!)
It sounds like your out in the sticks,, So your power supply may not be the cleanest.  Im betting this can help.

Hear are the links, sorry ment to put them in other post 

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner  (ps they even have it for mac)

http://www.piriform.com/blog/2012/12/13/defraggler-v212

and I have also found a program taht works on the crappy things that wont let you deleat something,,, but its on my home puter so ill put that link in tonight.

Pappa, Have you tried Ccleaner? and then Defragler.  my mothers puter was not working till i had her use it and it is now running good.
have ccleaner do teh clean then have it do the registry, when it asks if you want to back up the Reg,, i just always say no.  it will clean a lot of junk out and let your puter "breath" again.  then get defragler from the same company who does ccleaner. its a great prog. and they are both free and trustworthy

as a cheap prevention,, my guitar room has one of the 2 main intakes for the furnace and
A/C I have just put a large bowl of water in front of it.  it picks up the needed moisture and the room also can get it on its own. this is all theory though as I dont have a hydrometer to test it,, but I have noticed my guitars are not as dry as last year and staying in tune better

Laney amps are good, used to have one and wish I still did.  It sounds like a loose ground to me,, but you should take it a shop.  you may have what phoil said a mad earth ground.  have you tried it in a different plug? or at a different house? ask your neighbor if you can test from a room at his house and see if you get that buzz.  All else take it to a shop and have both checked. Is your cable in good shape? that could cause noise also.

Thbe airline sucks,, 1900   are you kidding? idd be going for lost value!  but on the musicians part,,, If I had a guitar worth 10G's  It would be in a Anvil case. built for punishment!  but as was looking around for an example I found this,
http://www.acousticguitar.com/article/d … leid=25801 from acoustic mag.

That is why Im decided on if I do make it to the chordie stock,, im shipping everything UPS a week or so prior. (and bringing my bang around road weary guitar)

Just to tagalong to amy,,
I also like Pappastasch and marty schwartz,  both on you tube.

AHHHH, so sensei you show how we no readers must learn to acive greatness...   LOLOLOL sorry couldnt resist.

wipe down your strings after each day of playing.  using some string ease or fast fret will help keep them brite.  Then there is the cheep way, mist a little mineral oil on a shammy or microfiber cloth and pinc a string in it and go up and down the string, you can also clean/moisturize your fret bd at the same time. (main in grediant in both above products is mineral oil and lemon oil).

but I think I actually change strings twice a year!. I dont paly every night, so they last a while.  but like Z said.^  (if you have more than one guitar it can be pricy to do all at the same time.)
