hillbilly deluxe Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 What's the problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Tell the problem and we might be able to suggest fixes. Also, I like the fact you managed to find this section, post a thread (presumably by clicking the "New Topic" button at the top of the page) but still managed to miss the list of Recommened Luthiers at the very top of the page. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26654"]This[/url] is the sticky you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible that if you have one half of the pickup that was weak somebody wired each half to a seperate pot so that they could balance the sound better!

Musky Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Yep. Wiring for a Precision should look like [url="http://www.guitar-mod.com/wiring/pbass.gif"]this.[/url] If you're handy with a soldering iron (or know someone who is), it's an easy job and would save you a few bob.
