Well, I'd try another preamp or amp and see if it's still there. That will tell you if it's the pickup itself or the preamp. I'd also try a different guitar cord. If it's the pickup, check your wiring, make sure everything's grounded well. If it's the preamp, try plugging into another outlet, or even some place other than your house to see if it's something about your house wiring, or something causing hum in your house. You just have to try things to isolate it, then you can figure out what to do to change it. It's not bad for live use, just a bit too obvious for a clean recording.
