timmyo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The relatively inexpensive (£160) Fender P Lyte I just bought has a non-working treble control (it's active P/J with vol, blend, bass, treble controls). I've looked inside the cavity and there's nothing obviously disconnected and a (very) gentle wiggle of connections doesn't result in anything. I'm just wondering if it's really worth paying someone to look at it, or if a comparable replacement might be as cost effective - obviously not top of the range stuff, but anything more modest ? Suggestions / ideas welcome, ta Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions / ideas welcome, ta Tim[/quote] Got a multimeter which measures ohms? Test the pot. If the pot is working then you could try redoing some solder points in case of dry joints. After that, it's probably a case of replacing wires working back and if that still doesn't work then there's something squiffy with your active electronics - a whole different ball game.
