If you got it on ebay send it back for a refund mate through the resource centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Really? I've just installed one in a friends Fender Precision Lyte & both he & I are incredibly impressed with it, it's given the bass a whole new lease of life. Totally quiet, easy to install & really usable EQ in all settings. Really can't fault it on any level, especially given how cheap it was. I've installed active circuits costing over five times the price that I don't think were as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Maybe i got a crap one, the blend control was scratchy both ways as was the volume control and there was a noticable drop in overall volume, its not like i cant wield a soldering iron.

[/quote] Sounds a little off alright. I'd try checking continuity with a meter to know for certain it's not the joints. Then I'd try to get a replacement unit - or a refund. If postage is a lot (depending on where you got it from) this may not be a sensible option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
