Bad buzzing issue from tone pot

Just to get this out the way, I Have absolutely no experience in electrics, or have a clue about how electrics work. So I'l try to describe this best as possible. I do however think it may be a job for a professional.


I have a fender aerodyne Jazz. Over the past couple of months the pots have started to crackly a tiny bit - not enough to bother me, but just a touch annoying. More recently though the tone pot has caused a lot of buzzing. When I turn down the pot its deadly silent, turn it up full its almost unusable. Is there something that I could possibly fix myself that could be causing that? Could it be a matter of giving it a clean up in there or is there something I could try before taking it in to get fixed? The buzzing seems like an earthing issue and it affects both pickups equally.

Any thoughts?

interesting! so Just to get this right in my head. You would do a full electric kit which id simply replace the originals with? il pm u for prices if you'd prefer, but Im guessing it would be an easy fix!

Yes I do a drop in replacement kit, spanner for the pot nuts & small screwdriver required & a spare 1/2 hour, (10 minutes if you're quick!)

PM please if you're interested for prices & details.

Cheerz, John
