Any air gap between the pickup bobbin plate and the metal baseplate could induce microphonic squeal. Melting wax into the gap minimises this.
Why I asked about that,but if it will be microphonic without wax..Yikes.....This may involve more than I initially thought it would..I guess this is going to be another learning process..
As far as I know the plate doesn't have to be tightly in contact with the magnet poles, but it should be rigidly attached to the pickup otherwise it will vibrate and cause severe microphonics.

It sounds more pronounced with reverb on..
I have got a Seymour Duncan SSL 5 Bridge pickup on order..
I am hoping that is a better solution..
A bit more output and hopefully a bit less scooped sounding..
We will see...
