That's a very Jizzy Jazz Enjoy

There's a song in that somewhere - 'it's all about the pop, when I slap - no tickle', repeat ad nauseum

Many Jazz bass wiring relies on the mechanical connection between the mounting of pots & jack socket onto the metal bell plate, it saves .02 pence worth of extra wire but of course as soon as you get a loose nut or even a bit of corrosion under your nuts any earthing is at best - intermittent & doubtful It appears from your photo' that the pots are not of the 'highest quality' & also they are 500K Linear, which is certainly not what I would recommend for a Jazz Bass they are probably at the end of their useful life anyway! I would suggest a new wiring kit would go a long way to solving all your problems

[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111604259549?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] [/quote]I'm no expert either, but I'm always suspicious of head end truss rod adjustment access - unless it's Mex or a Special, but that's not definite. What worries me though is the access hole does look small or the wooden plug seems 'thick sided', has a lot of meat around the hole, IYSWIM? Crucial test - what size allen key fits?[i][b] If it's USA Fender it'll be 3/16" [/b][/i]not 4, 4.5 or 5 mm Edit: My mistake the manual says 1/8" allen key for the bi-flex truss rod, that explains why the hole looks small

Gutted! Horrible thing to loose your workshop, lucky no loss of life, could have been much worse!

That lovely nurse when I broke 3 fingers on my left hand & said "will I ever be able to play guitar again?" She replied "no you'll have to play bass ;-)"

From a question about capacitors, Mike ended up ordering a custom P-bass kit. Great communication & instant payment, all in all a very pleasant transaction, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

Have you tried a different/proven good lead?

Mark got in touch about improving/upgrading the controls & circuit in a Overwood Tanglewater P/J. Excellent communications & after a few Q's & A's settled on a stacked knob replacement plate, which I hear he's very pleased with Great guy to deal with, a pleasure in fact, deal with confidence.

Aljosa contacted me about an upgrade kit for his P-bass, excellent communication & instant payment. Postage was sorted & it was delivered in 4 days, not bad! Super guy to deal with, no problems, recommended. Cheerz, John

A mm or two shouldn't weaken the joint (assuming you've got 10 mm + of screw in the neck). [/quote]A mm or two! you'll probably need .010" or .015" that's all & it'll be fine Edit: A piece of card - business card type is usually about right!

It's a Special!
