"POP" when I switch between active/passive

[solo4652]

Folks,

I have a G&L Tribute L2000. When I switch between active and passive with the switch on the bass, I'm getting a loud "POP", just like unplugging the jack with the amp on. It's not done this before. I've changed the battery - no difference. After 3 or 4 switchings back and forth, the pop stops. No problems at all with my other bass - passive Fender P.

Any thoughts?

Spray some switch cleaner on. If that doesn't solve it, sounds like a new switch is needed.

switch wear is my guess

turn off the vol when you do it..

It's possible that a capacitor started leaking. If this is the case, it needs to be replaced.
