  1. Sorry, late to the party! Good advice above and as said the wiring looks OK. Many manufacturers don't or didn't bother with a earth wire to the jack when mounted on a metal control plate, but as Gary - I always do a hardwire earth to every component, it only takes one to become loose and you can loose the continuity. Testing everything with a multimeter should find the problem/s. Good luck πŸ˜‰ If you decide on a new loom, easy option, ☺️ I'm here
  2. Gerry needed another loom πŸ˜ƒ, perfect transaction, he's a diamond geezer πŸ‘ Cheerz, John
  3. Pickups are out of phase, swap one pair of wires and try it, or something on the controls is shorting out.
  4. Yes, right here πŸ˜„ PM me for details πŸ‘
  5. Lollars in mine - PERFECT IMHO 😍 https://www.lollarguitars.com/lollar-bass-pickups
  6. I made a Jaguar loom for Dave, great guy to deal with, communications spot on and instant payment, perfect! Cheerz, John
  7. Another loom for Andy, perfect transaction, great guy to deal with, 100% diamond geezer. Cheerz, John
  8. PM coming your way πŸ˜‰
  9. Jodie got in touch re a change of controls for his Lakland, excellent comms, instant payment and a pleasure to deal with, great guy. Cheerz, John
  10. I can't imagine why a luthier wouldn't 'just do it' without any talk of 'at your risk', if he's not proficient I'd seek another luthier. Re-doing a bit of copper foil or shielding paint ain't exactly difficult either, IMO πŸ˜‡
  11. @Obrienp Never seen any blend pots with long mounting thread, (not shaft - that's the bit the knob goes on). The obvious answer is to remove a smidgen of wood inside the cavity where the pot sits, carefully πŸ˜‰ so more thread sticks through, if you're OK with woodwork handtools, if not see a luthier.
  12. There's a easy way, ready to drop in, no soldering and works first time, or you could spend hours trying πŸ˜‰
  13. Also irrelevant, but I have a Vintage Advance Thinline Tele which is truly superb and punches well above it's price πŸ˜‰ https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-advance-av2-thinline-283347013
  14. It's not because they're 'Mini' so much as they're cheaper than chips, in fact potato pots might be better. Penny pinching on electrics by most manufacturers is what lets many basses/guitars down, poxy pots, jacks made out of putty and soldering by '3 year olds', you'd think! Japanese Fenders included. I've been using Bourns mini pots for a good few years now in most of my replacement looms and they are as good quality and as well made as the benchmark CTS. Just to set the record straight like πŸ˜‰
  15. Alex has had a couple of Jaguar looms, apart from Royal Mail not doing what they're paid for πŸ˜’ all is well. Perfect transactions as always with a great basschatter, pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John
  16. How much is 750 in US$ or GBΒ£? Can't tell if it is a bargain or not without that info, but if it plays well, it looks good πŸ˜€ happy days. The Serial number on the head don't seem to match the tags?
  17. Yes Tom, Can do but it's really not a comfortable combination to use, IMHO. With pick-ups in series the blend is redundant, as would a second volume control be. In parallel of couse the blend has control over the 2 pick-ups as normal, with volume and tone. PM me for any more info please. Cheerz, John
  18. Always Audio or Log. (same pot/taper), for me (and a lot of satisfied bass chatters), 250K - yes.
  19. I suggest; remove the green wire earth connection from the top lug of the blend pot to the body of volume pot and try it. Cheerz, John
  20. I can't get the Seymour Duncan link to copy/paste.
  21. Sorry I didn't check the link before posting - my bad - that was not what I meant to post, apologies.
  22. Should be good, although I always use Log. The S/D diagram is what I usually follow.
  23. That drawing looks wrong, who wires the jack at the top of the bell plate and the blend t'other end? Wierd 😏 Try this;
  24. What pot is it exactly?
  25. Dave has had a couple of looms from me, a Jazz and now a P-bass, very easy to deal with, great comms, instant payment and let me know when delivered. Top man πŸ‘ Cheerz, John
