Sweet... +1 on the mental health... just picking that up to help calm the storm. Take it Steady-Eddie...

Just the resistor is simple and pence, but would work out £10 postage for the round trip... That would be best put towards a cheap soldering iron!

What next... ELF Christmas Slippers?

Son has Roto Tru Bass 65-115 on a G4M Fretless Acoustic... 'sposedly nearest you can get to a DB sound... Not Cheap Mind, £40... luckily the Bass came already strung with them! (EUB 34"? Wouldn't know if they fit a real upright.)

Adagio also do 45-100 flats, standard tension in Nickel... Olympia Strings (The Harley B Flats are re-bagged Olympia's, check out the packaging and save the £10 postage!) in Stainless Steel, handy(!) if you have a nickle allergy. Give Adagio as a try at £18 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332636490116 👍Colin and Amy @ AdvMusic / Olympia Strings. Almost everything Guitar or Bass, Electric or Acoustic in the house.. 20ish! is strung with Flats or Wounds from Adagio or Olympia What Bass? Check your Bridge to Peg length... run a little close on my T'Bird at 37.5" Ideally 38" Min.

Do the simple Resistor Mid Mod on the back of the board... and why does it need to be just in case? Bit of rattle can, and no one would know...

Welcome... Remember to make a NBD (New Bass Day) post with pics Enjoy

Nice... You still got long hair, or Shaved and a Mohawk?..

Harley Benton Strat Acoustic... £125 cmon' how smart does that look? https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_st_acoustic_black.htm or Bowl Back... from £75 https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_hbo600nt.htm

No Plate Rocks! For more of that smashing colour... just the chrome control plate! Leave it a while and see....

Loves a bit of Alice, Seen twice at Wembly Arena... Constrictor and Trash Tours Certainly a Show

I'd go New Pot... some times a bump on the knob (!) Can cause the pot internals to loosen. If ya like the sound and volume action go like for like. A Log, B Lin taper, 250k?

Bright Eyes - Arty Funkle...

Strawberry Angel Delight!... Bit Salty at 8

Yeah still sparks and bites, even wearing flats... specially when played with a pick towards the bridge, and likely due to being more mid-ship P placement, than on the end of the fretboard, and wired via the A500k straight to the jack - like @Krispin mentioned in his post. I have a Artec 5 position Passive Tone Control Tone-Styler-A-Like, great for £15, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403241742777 but didn't think i'd want to take the any darker... just play nearer the neck.

The British Sound was too pink, so got a rub-down to bare ally, then old school sticky letters... And a BeadyEye got the leftovers of a Black rattle can treatment...

Ben-Addicted

Doesnt look like any links across the pot casings to the jack, relying on the metal plate... Are the In and Out white wire tags of the vol pot linked? Shouldn't be but half looks like it from the pics

The Scramblers

Pic of the wiring?...

Non Silicon Wood Silk Bees Wax and Oils - Cheap Spray from Tesco etc... and Pop! Try some on sanded wood (obviously says not for unsealed wood and scratches... but hey, lets go!)

Yeah the P n J pups get some love, specially the Neo's I was gonna go for a mudbucker for my T'bird.. but the DiMaz 1 turned up. Warning the Entwistle's are quite deep, Here is a pic of the Std Vintage PJ set i put in my Aria J, so you can see the kinda manufacture quality. The Force is Strong

My T'Bird wearing a DiMarzio Model One. Have you thought about an Alan Entwisle's pairing of... https://entwistlepickups.com/alan-entwistle-bass-guitar-pickups/ MUD4 and a MH4?..
