    i was given a bass by a friend. It’s a “Karen GTX 53”, 24 fret precision jazz type bass. The neck looks maple, I’m not sure about the body . All in all, I want to run this as a backup . The wiring and pots crackle badly when turning the dials (which seem to be precision volume/jazz volume/ tone...
