it's me again. i tried to rewire the pot and the capacitor following fender's diagram (http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf_temp1/basses/0190116C/SD0190116CPg2.pdf) which my bass is a reissue 62 p-bass. Is the circuit the same as a reissue bass? I try to bypass the tone pot it sounds normal. But after connecting to the tone pot it sounds like a volume cut for 50%. When I follow another circuit the tone sound is ok but the two knobs are reversed (anti clockwise volume up, clockwise for volume down) and i touch the volume knob it sounds "beez". Is that a wrong circuit? I still can't fix my bass...poor.

If not, the wiring diagram can be had from the Fender web site, here:- [url="http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf_temp1/basses/0136100A/SD0136100APg2.pdf"]http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf...0136100APg2.pdf[/url][/quote] thx so much did you mean i try to re-connect the wire with a soldering iron???

i am using a MIJ fender p bass recently, i discover my bass's volume is too low (suddenly) i checked the volume knob and the tone knob the volume knob works okay but when i turn the tone off (cut the tone) the volume apparently becomes lower too (normally it won't) is that any problem of the tone knob or is it a problem of my pickup? how to check which part got a problem?? thanks everyone
