Jono Bolton Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) I have an issue with a buzz from my P Bass. With the volume up full, and the tone turned all the way down, there's no buzz. With the volume full, and the tone turned all the way up, there's a bit of buzz, but once I start to roll the volume back down, the buzz increases, but disappears once the volume is rolled all the way down. The bass has two grounds; one to the bridge, and one to a lug in the cavity. Everything seems to be wired up correctly. The issue doesn't seem to be from my amp, or the wiring in the room, as when I plugged my Jazzmaster in, there were no issues. Any suggestions?

Jono Bolton Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Seems it was dodgy pots. Put some new CTS pots in, and some Gavitt cloth wire, and there's no hum at all. Did a fairly tidy job too, if I do say so myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
