chrisanthony1211 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 The test will be when I next go to rehearsal, I never seem to have a problem at home but it always buzzes or picks up the radio when rehearsing, I'm guess they have some dodgy wiring! Any tips on stopping these old pots from seizing up from time to time? Contact cleaning frees them up pretty quick but would rather it never happened at all!

[/quote]there is no magic cure to fix the pots may be it would be best to replace the loom and keep the original pots while they are still in working order kiogan is the man to speak to contact cleaner is only a short term fix I'm afraid the internals of your pots are probably worn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yes speak to our very own kiogan he will sort you out with a nice solderless loom for a great price and it is very easy to put the old loom back in if ever needed I think taking the old ones out while they are still in working condition is a good idea then if you sell the bass you can put the old loom back in so it's all original and working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisanthony1211 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Last question re: shielding, I've done both and all looks good so far. Is it OK to put some electrical tape on the inside of the control cavity on top of the copper tape around where the jack is situated? Just in case the jack moves and comes into contact with the sides to prevent shorting?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yes that is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
