bass pickup wiring check, please
« on: August 24, 2015, 01:42:32 pm »
Hey guys, I'm replacing the pots in a Jaguar SS bass I picked up. I'm changing the setup to a "vol/blend/tone" configuration that a lots of players seem to like. I'd appreciate a second set of eyes to be sure I'm not wiring something backwards. Thanks!

Your tone control will act just like a volume control.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Ahh, yes! (Except for that tiny open circuit just to the right of the VOL pot.) :wink:
