roycruse Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi - its my first post !!! I have just aquired a new Peavey Dyna-Bass which im really pleased with. One thing I find odd though is the volume and tone pair of control knobs seem to be the wrong way round. (see the attached pic) The front pair of knobs control the back pickups and vice versa Can anyone tell me if thats normal on this or any other bass and if so whats the reason for it. Im perfectly capable of re-wiring it but I thought id check here before I opened it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've got a fretted and fretless 5 string of this model and yours is definitely backwards compared to them. Probably someone at the factory got their wires crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Easier than rewiring is just take the pots out complete and swap places, as long as there is enough slack in the wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Mine is wired that way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roycruse Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks for you input - ive swapped the pots around... I swapped the top for the bottom and the left for the right - which now gives me front pair for front pickup and back pair for back pickup. the ones closest to the pickups are tone and nearest the ground is volume. This feels much more natural and logical now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
