I'm having some problems with my new mayones guitar from what i can tell it is my pick ups that are the problem(i think). As you can hear i get a slight ringing sound after every stop. No I'm not hitting harmonics cos I've tried it up and down the next and its the same sound. I need some help with this one and what should i do?

Ive used two different amp to test this. first is ez mix with a Misha 6505 + next is a line 6 pod farm tone i made.
I also get this ringing sound out of my peavey 6505+ at practice. I've tried changing the pick up heights with no luck.
My guitar is a Mayones setius 7 string with aftermath pick ups

Its probably the strings ringing either behind the bridge or the nut.
Foam under the strings helps. I just neatly wrap some electrical tape and it kills it.

I thought it might be that but ive got a bit of cloth around the top amd me and a friend have tried a bit of cloth at the bridge as well but still get the ringing. I think im gna end up taking it back to the store where I got it to get it sorted in the end haha

It was placing the foam where the strings met the body that sorted out the ringing issue i had-i added the Gruvgear fretwrap to clean up playing and notes.

Thanks for all the replies. Going to get myself some foam and try this.
