Muppet Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've six different Precisions and four different wiring variations. Only one has been modified, by me! Anyway, I've a 72 Precision with an additional green capacitor soldered over the volume pot. This is in addition to the more regular .05 capacitor.. I'll try to get some photos but does anyone have any idea if this is standard, or a common mod from a particular time? i've never seen it before.

Geek99 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I have never heard of that .... @KiOgon is it one you’ve heard of ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Could be a resistor not an additional capacitor, I've heard of these on early Precisions, just trying to get some pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 This is what I mean. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Looks like an attempt at adding a treble bleed cap to the vol control to reduce loss of high frequencies when vol is backed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The treble bleed sounds very feasible, I always thought it was a bit brighter than my '75 anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
