Much Quieter when both pickups are on full?

My Yamaha has a pan pot to pan between the P and J pup, but the bass gets much quieter (like half the volume or less) when the pan knob is centred. I know it's common for a bit of a volume drop when both pickups are full on with most basses, but this is more than that...

I could be wrong, but does this mean one of the pickup polarities are the wrong way round? If so, does anybody know a guitar tech or something in the East Anglian region that could fix it for me? I would do it myself, but I have killed one too many basses with my (lack of) soldering skills...


Thanks very much!

I suspect that your diagnosis is correct, I'm sure that was the same problem I had with the jazz bass that I had a few years back. Rectified fairly easily, if you can solder or have a friend who can.

Sorry don't know any guitar techs in your neck of the woods, but I'm sure someone will be along soon, who does.
