Hi guys - I could do with some urgent help please.

I've just bought a Sire V7 off someone here but when i've tested it out when the blend is set to 50/50 theres a bigdrop in volume and a very nasty hollow/nasal tone with very little bass. I've had quite a few jazz basses and have never experienced this before.

I've done a quick soundclip here - the order is neck - both - bridge. Best listened through soeakers/headphones.

Is it a phase issue? Am I imagining things? I'd appreciate any advice before I approach the seller and consider consulting my guitar tech.

Thanks

Sounds like one of your pickups is out of phase

You were right. I found a wiring diagram for the sire and the bridge pickup was wired the wrong way round.

Ive resoldered (first time I've used a soldering iron since I was at school lol!) it correctly and everything is fine now!
