Removing tone/blend pot from bass

[Bero]

Having buzzing/ earth problems with bass, have another post on here about it, going to go down the route of shielding all cavities, but before this is done while waiting on shielding, when i turn down tone pot buzz goes, was thinking about removing tone pot from circuit and just use two volume pots, has anyone done this before and what are the implications
thanks

Almost certianly won't help the buzz, turning down tone just bleeds off the treble where the buzz is, so taking it out will mean you don't even have that option and will be stuck with the buzz. Have you checked the earth is connected properly? Might be that the only earth connection is through the tone capacitor.
