EMG bridge pickup hum

Playing with my Warmoth the neck EMG is pretty quiet in terms of ground hum. However, switching to the bridge pickup the hum/buzz is quite annoying and obviously louder.

Could it be a simple connector not on right? The EMG 57 is quite high output so I'd expect some noise when played with high gain but i feel it's a bit too much.

    Yes. That is the mostly likely explanation. 

    Check them all. 

    If your circuit involves the 157C Buss Board PCB, check any cables fastened by screw-down clamps to/from the selector switch.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.
