Lipstick humbucker is microphonic

Hey, so recently I got my new Danelectro 59x. I really love the guitar. Yesterday, the bridge Lipstick Humbucker was starting to become microphonic when the guitar is distorted. When I use a lot of gain, I can even hear my voice or the drums during rehearsal. The Neck P90 is perfectly fine. Anything I can do about it? Or is this a ‘regular’ problem with lipsticks?
