Kip Kersey Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hi everyone. I just rewired and soldered the control plate on my left handed fender jazz bass with new pots. Everything is working except that when I turn my pots up they turn the volume down and vice versa. Have I wired it incorrectly or are left handed pots ‘ a thing’?

LeftyJ Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Left-handed pots are most definitely a thing, but this only has to do with the taper on logarithmic pots. Linear pots are "symmetric". If your pots work in the opposite direction, you have wired them wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Can you put a pic up ? I'm sure some tech minds will see any problem straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
