deadonkey buy/beg/borrow/steal one ofus the "continuity" setting to make sure all that should be grounded is grounded (to the back of the pots, usually)
suede I see, cool...I probably need to take it to the shop...I don't really know any one that has one...
deadonkey you can get one for a tenner (a cheapish one) and it's an invaluable tool for any kind of electronicw work. They're called multimeters.
suede I heard or read somewhere (I could be wrong) that if the feedback continues after you touch the strings to stop it, it is usually a grounding issue...if it is true then that seems to be my problem...
