    '98 Roscoe Beck V jazz bass - Tone POt?

    Tone pot doesn't work on my bass, it's full treble all the time and crackles if you mess with it. Does anyone know the right part for tone pot? Looks like item 16 on page three of manual? "push-pull 27k? " I looked on Sweetwater's site, and all the ones that look right say 500k or 250k. Sorry...

    Big Muff Pi style tone controls

    I wasn’t satisfied with the preamp on my Cort GB75. While the slap switch feature was my favourite, the treble and bass boost/cut just not enough to my taste. I was thinking of going in passive mode only but a standard tone pot simply didn’t do any mid-scoop. I read someone used an inductor but...
