thebrig Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) I've just purchased a Alegree Solderless Precision Bass Wiring Harness. The harness is made up with quality components including - CTS solid shaft shaft potentiometers - Orange drop capacitor - Switchcraft jack socket It's a neat piece of kit but the volume only works if the tone pot is slightly on, if I turn the tone completely off, the volume control does not work. Is this normal, or is there a fault? Edited December 11, 2022 by thebrig To add photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 No that's not right. When you say the volume doesn't work, is is stuck on full or off? I'd be looking for something on the harness touching something that it shouldn't. Is the control cavity screened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volume only works if I turn the tone on a little bit, it would be ok when playing at home, but if I was playing live and I inadvertently turned the tone off completely, then I would effectively be turning the volume off as well, which isn't ideal in a live situation.

thebrig Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 I've decided to return the harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
