squire5 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Heads up guys, sorry for the delay.I replaced both pots and re-wired to Bigguy's 2nd option.Still no joy.The signal still disappears after the centre detent on the blend control.Master volume and tone are fine,the pups are fine,so I guess its the blend control.2 ordered off Amazon........Watch this space.

PaulThePlug Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Check for a 'short' between the two pot X link wires?.. Edited March 29, 2022 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire5 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 You mean the 'X' configuration on the blend control Paul? Or something else? Could you elaborate just a wee bit? Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Yep... the Cross Over Links... Tight in there and easy to link out another tag... especialy if uninsulayed Tinned Copper Wire (TCW) is used...

squire5 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'll make a special point of that Paul.I always use covered wire anyways,but you're right,its a tight space.Just waiting for 2 new pots...just in case.Thanx for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire5 Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Well guys,success at last....sort of.I swapped the blend pot over for a new one,connected it up paying special attention to the 'X' configuration,as Paul suggested and everything works.Just one thing though.The stock Jazz bass knobs are now no longer a proper fit for the new pots.The pot shafts are too tall and now the knobs look ridiculous.But bugger it,I've spent enough time messing about with it.It'll do.Thanx for the input y'all.

If you use two bolts on the pot, one below and one above, you can make sure the minimum amount of the control is above and it will fit better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
