Waterboarder Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi fellas, Yes I know it doesn't get much simpler than this, but I'm just wondering if I've managed to cock it up!? I bought new pots, cap, wiring and p'up for my Precision and wired it up as per these instructions; [url="http://www.ehow.com/how_7156347_wire-fender-bass.html"]http://www.ehow.com/how_7156347_wire-fender-bass.html[/url] Sounds fine, except the controls work anti-clockwise! I've checked and re-checked looked at other wiring diagrams but don't seem to locate a problem, so am thinking I could have been sold dodgy pots, or is there something else I'm missing completely? Can anyone who knows about lecktrickery shed any light? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outer two need to be wired the other way round - so whatever you have got attached to the left hand contact needs to go to the right hand contact and vice versa.

Waterboarder Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Ok, cheers - do I swap 'em round on both pots then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future reference, this is a good representation of how the wiring on a standard PB should look like...
