    It's hard to believe a can of contact cleaner can actually cost more than a new KiOgon wiring loom 😍 😎 For all other jobs - Servisol for many years, a can, ( borrowed from Vox when I worked there), lasted me about 20 years! The cheap pots used in many guitars these days simply ain't worth trying to save IMHO. They weren't any good when they were new - so what's the chances of 'making them better with a squirt of something'? 🤣

    Well! If I worked for a 'top brand' guitar maker like Gibson, I'd be ashamed of that mess 🤣 The wiring looks in tact, let's have a look at the switch - probably the thing wants a good kicking I mean a bit of tender fettling and fiddling to get it working like it should. Cheerz, John

    Saved by the bass 'worth practically nothing'! Well done that man 😎

    Have been using one of these for many years, quality cable and plugs, good strong cloth covered, excellent copper conductors, highly recommended. Not especially from this seller, the first one that came up, were available on Amazon IIRC. http://www.ebay.co.uk/i/153724100790?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=153724100790&targetid=877514743599&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9045117&poi=&campaignid=9437741753&mkgroupid=97371651778&rlsatarget=pla-877514743599&abcId=1140496&merchantid=101751147&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuKqon4vS6QIVmK3tCh2lfQKhEAQYDCABEgLc6fD_BwE

    These are superb VFM, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warman-MM4-4-string-bass-humbucker-13-09kOhm-4-wire-overwound/184298952980?hash=item2ae912d914:g:oi8AAOSwm4Zb3x4q

    Well found, if the red battery wire has been shorting though the pot body you battery will most likely be goosed. You have a multimeter don't you?
  12. KiOgon
    Yep - that's not good!
  13. KiOgon
    Can you post up a pic of the guts - and the axe please 😮

    It's a pdf download, works for me! Or: https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000840683-Bass-Guitar-Service-Diagrams Scroll down to Big Block P.

    Close enough? file:///D:/Downloads/013-8100-306A_SISD.pdf

    Can you try another pick up? Anything will do to try.
  21. KiOgon
    The wiring looks well done and right, try lifting the pickguard complete out of the cavity, I reckon something will be shorting on the copper tape when it's together. If it works proper out of the body you'll know. Cheerz, John

    @Oopsdabassist The Kill/Off position on my switch isolates the output from the pickup/s only. Your active bass will 99.9% certainly have the battery switched on/off by contacts in the jack socket which are made with a plug in. You would need a dedicated switch fitted, with wiring mods to avoid having to unplug.
  23. KiOgon
    @itu @CameronJ YES 😍 Perhaps I'll do option A or B
  24. KiOgon
    No, the most common cap. used with traditional tone pot circuits is .047uF. The switch at the .047uF position is equivalent to that pot/cap backed right off. The 0.1uF is used for 'a bit more bass' often likened to a 'old school sound' more P bass than anything. HTH
  25. KiOgon
    1. No, you can keep the volume control - OR - bypass it if you don't want it. This is intended to replace the traditional tone pot. 2. Yes, kills the output.
