Ah, meant "capacitor," right? Yep, try a 0.1µF ceramic cap from signal input to chassis ground to bypass RFI/hum. Non-polarized, soldered in parallel. Keeps DC off but shunts noise. Test with scope or ear—don't overdo value or it'll roll off highs. Safety first, unplug power.

Should I bypass the 1M ohm resistor with this cap?

Yes, parallel the 0.1µF cap across the 1M resistor (input to ground). It shunts RF noise while letting audio through—1M blocks DC/low freq, cap handles highs. Start small; too big caps kill treble. Measure impedance if picky.

Start with .1ufd and work up in value? I could use some slight reduced treble anyway. How high of a capitalist before I can say this was unsuccessful.
