sprocketflup Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have done a bit of fiddling with my jazz bass, its got a pair of Bartolini pickups in it and arrived with active circuitry. Im not a fan and after purchasing a standard jazz control plate and pots have converted it back to passive. I rewired it to this diagram [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=std_jazz_bass"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=std_jazz_bass[/url] and what ive ended up with is the two volume pots don't go completely to silent when turned anti-clockwise, and the tone pot is acting as not only a tone but also a volume? What have I done wrong?? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugget Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Can you post a photo of the wiring you've done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 As above, photo would help. Tone = volume, possibly the capacitor leg that is not soldered to the pot casing is also touching the pot casing - it must not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Right, sorted it. As I was looking through the viewfinder I realised that the middle pots earthed leg (bent over and soldered to the casing) wasn't actually a very good joint, resoldered and hey presto, sorted. thanks for your help anyway guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
