Bizarre noise problem

Recommended Posts

My Cort Curbow ( factory fitted Bartolini Mk 1 humbucker and Fishman preamp) has developed a strange random fault. Every now and then it will develop a loud "sizzling" buzz which, if I turn the volume pot down and back up, disappears. Sometimes there is a small "pop" as I turn it down. I can't find any obvious loose connections so any thoughts? Dry solder? Dodgy pot?

Cheers

Sounds like a dodgy pot, in which case [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=25340"]this[/url] works wonders. :)
