The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
EssentialTension replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Having measured again in daylight, using a steel rule rather than a tape measure, and Mrs ET's eyes rather than my own eyes ... ... it does seem to be 17.5mm. -

My 2002ish Crafted in Japan is 19mm. EDIT ... but see below for the remeasure at 17.5mm. -
I've got that recorded to watch soon.

EssentialTension replied to EssentialTension's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks for that. My eyesight is not what it was but the joints definitely look not touching/joined to my eyes. However, when I re-attached the plate initially the problem was gone! But I then discovered I could get the problem to re-occur if I wiggled the volume pot. So presumably, even though they look not touching or joined when the plate is off, they are close enough to make contact when the vol pot is wiggled against the screwed down plate. If so, I need to resolder those two joints, keeping them apart. Is that likely to be correct? -

Thanks, The in and out white wire tags on volume pot are NOT linked. I think you're correct regarding the only link from pot casings to the jack is the metal plate. The nut on the jack socket did loosen up a little a while ago and I did tighten it, although that predates the volume pot problem by several weeks. I'll tighten the nut again. But would the lack of grounding from pots to the socket cause permanent full volume? -

Maybe I should add that it's been working fine for the three and a half years that have passed since I bought it from @Clarky. -
I'm not much good on electrics so forgive me if I am going doolally. Everything is fine and at full volume ... except turning the volume pot has no effect on volume. Turn it down and it's still on full. The wiring all looks good. Do I need a new volume pot? Or what? Thanks.
