Another look at my new bass ...

Monday, June 15, 2015, 10:15 a.m. -- Just wrapped up doing more troubleshooting with my new

Pbass, and I think the problem is in the volume pot. If I keep working the pot, I can get some audio through it.

I have thoughts of going to the local music store and see if they have a pot or two -- 250k -- but for $19 I can get the whole populated pickguard, prewired and ready to drop in, using my pickups. Or for the same money, I can get one from China with new pickups -- an idea that makes me wonder if that's not the best route to take.

I believe the pickups I have are ok ... when I tap them with a metallic object, they sound comes thru.  I'm a little bit in a hurry to get this thing going, but hell, $19 makes it so easy to fix this thing and remove any doubts about the electronics. Includes matching knobs too (my bass is missing one knob).

There's a US ebay seller with the populated pickguard minus pickups, and I think that's the route I'm going to go. I'm not going to buy more strings today, I have the three from the guitar and I've been using to test the electronics, and that's plenty for now.

I listed my new bass on eBay last night, I'm hoping it will sell!
