tiffen Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi All, The nearest I can describe the intermittent fault I have been experiencing, is it sounds like my Bass starts playing with no Bass sound as though there is only treble in use the volume seems to sound louder and sharper. I use a Schecter with EMG active pick ups. New strings and battery installed and still the same. I got someone to measure the 4 pots ohms value on the bass. The following results came out Pot 1 Vol 3.83 Pot 2 3.83 Pot 3 18.80 Pot 4 Tone 13.67. I have no technical knowledge hope these results may reveal if there is an explanation.

iiipopes Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Are these measurements with the pots in place? If so, they are not accurate due to the rest of the circuit loading. Even then, it's not the overall measurement of the pot that is important as it is to make sure the outside two lugs have good contact with the wafer and that the wiper is smooth and clean. To check all this requires removing the pots from the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffen Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi Thanks for replying. The pots were all in place and wired up. I think I will take it to the repair shop for checking out. I am not confident that I will make things worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
