spinynorman Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Got a twin pickup passive bass, separate volume and tone pots for each pickup. Bridge tone pot works fine, neck tone pot does nothing. Is the problem more likely to be the pot itself, or the way it's wired to the pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
