Hi there,
I've just been fidling around with my gear as I have a few spare hours (of which I should be revising in).
I plugged in as per usual and started playing.
After messing around with the tone controls for a few seconds I realised that there was a huge boost of sound when I was touching the bass pot. When I let goof the pot there's a huge decrease in bass output, and therefore it's bloody hard to actually set the bass up accurately as the levels dip in and out as you change them!
It also makes a difference if I'm touching the strings (+pot) too - even louder!
I opened her up and had a look around inside and there's no obvious loss of connection - here's a few pics of inside:

From what I can see there is no wiring problem - but why is there this huge difference in sound when I'm touching the pots?
Any advice/information would be great!
Thanks for your time!
