Odd P-Bass Volume Problem

[JayM]

I recently rewired a P-bass with CTS pots using the standard Fender wiring diagram. Now I have an odd volume problem. When I roll back the volume control, it works fine for about 3/4 of the range (basically down to zero output) and then the volume jumps back up to full. The last 1/4 of the range has no effect on the volume - it stays on full. The tone control seems to wotk fine.

I have a lot of soldering experience, and have done guitar wiring several times before. I checked all of my connections with a meter and everything looks fine. Is this some sort of classic wiring problem, or do I have a bad pot?

Thanks.

Measure across the pot, from the center ( wiper) and the input side. See that the reading varies across the entire range of the pot.
That would prove or eliminate the part itself as being the problem. The other thing would be to make sure you used the correct value part in the replacement.

Thanks, I'll check that.
