Marvin Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I've got an Ibanez SR300. The pot for boosting or cutting the bass is shared with that for the treble. (apologies to all those who know that already) Especially if I haven't played for a couple of days when I adjust the bass it crackles, but not the treble (or any other pots). However, if I give the jack a shove (couldn't think of a better word I'm afraid) it stops doing it. But then it will start again at random. I've got to say I'm a little confused as to what may be going on, anyone got any ideas? Edited September 2, 2009 by RichB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOD2 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The best advice would be - 1. Check/replace the battery 2. Open the control cavity and squirt a little cleaner (e.g. Super Servisol) into the open part of all the pots - use the "drinking straw" attachment on the cleaner to accurately spray it inside the pots. 3. Spray some cleaner on a jack plug and insert this into the input jack on the guitar, then turn the jack plug around to spread the cleaner over the jack contacts. That will cure most simple problems.

Happy Jack Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Ah, so olive oil and salt and having the oven on 475F for the first 20 minutes is not the correct answer, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
