    Problem with Blend control on Jazz bass.

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Bigguy one thing I've noticed in comparing your pics to the first one I posted is this.The ground wire from the top of the VOL pot goes to the top of the blend pot on your pic,while on the first pic it goes to the bottom right lug on the blend pot.The bottom pic that you posted is like my layout with the Blend control at the top and looks a lot simpler.For a start the VOL control has only 1 wire connected to its l/h lug,whereas mine has 3 wires connected to that lug.Gonna give that a go I think.Cheers.

    I have wired up a jazz bass control plate with a 250K blend pot.My problem is that it only works in 1 direction.By that I mean,if I pan from bridge pup to neck pup,the signal disappears from the centre detent onwards,ie the neck pup is not sounding.If I reverse the wiring,the opposite happens.Is that the right blend pot I've got,as I've stripped and rewired the whole thing twice,but its still doing it? Any pointers guys? I'm following this diagram.

    Problem with Behringer TU300 tuner.

    Well would you credit it.I tried it with a new battery and it works.But theres something odd.Before,when you plugged into it,the display showed"0"and the far right LED was lit constantly and it stayed that way.Now,with the battery,it does the same thing for a second and then works normally.Its making me think that the P/S is suss,although it operates my other pedals just fine.

    I've had this tuner for years and its never let me down,until today.When I connect the power supply and then plug the bass lead in,the display goes to a constant '0' and only 1 led is lit,the far right one..None of the other switches do anything.Unplugging the power and then plugging it back in brings back the same situation.One thing though.I presume all Behringer pedals work off 9V,centre pin -ve?Because I've recently started using another power supply,but this one doesn't affect my other Behringer pedals.Just the tuner is affected.Any ideas guys? I guess these things dont last for ever,but I'd hate to throw it out.

    'My Love' by Macca.His 'E' string is so out of tune its not real.But my 'favourite'(?) is Barbara Dicksons "January,February" chorus.I spent weeks hearing it on a little transistor radio at work,but one night,on TOTP,when I could hear the bass properly,I seriously thought the bassist was on something.Really.Have a listen.Maybe its in the name of art,and trying to sound clever,but I still cant believe someone said "You nailed that bassline mate" at the recording.😁
