Can anyone help with this? On an active bass, there appears to be a problem with the EQ pots (rather than the EQ itself, I think). Bass EQ; has centre detente. When turned past the detente there is a bass boost but the last 1/4 of the turn it becomes a cut. To my ears it sounds about the same cut as when the bass pot is turned all the way down. It's almost as if the calibration of the pot has gone wrong! Middle EQ; boost and cut fine. Treble: Centre detente. Cut works as it should but I can't really here any marked difference past the centre detente when boosted. Curious. I had a Warwick where the volume did what I think the Bass pot is doing; Pot turned to 10 was about 1/3 volume, Pot turned to 0 was about a third volume too. Pot 6 = Max volume, and Pot 7-8 was no volume! Any ideas?

Help! I have a Yamaha 2025x. I’ve just noticed that there is a weird, intermittent distortion happening. It’s not me clipping the input stage of the various pre amps I’ve tried or through a combo; the noise is there even with minimal gain. Presumably a wiring issue, but I don’t know where to begin!

Here it is in action

I bought it eBay a few years ago and as such I can't find it as purchases only go back a year or so. I think I searched fro Royal Blue sparkle or some such. Sorry!

I have a set but they ended up in my old faithful precision They sound good!

I had the body made/finished from a Italian ebayer. Cost £280 and the finish is outstanding! All parts meaty neck. Has a brass shim. hipshot tuners. Omega bridge. Seymour Duncan quarter pounders. Scratch plate is acrylic - finding a real chrome one is difficult! Plays great! Drilled through the headstock when mounting the tuners! Oops!
