Factory Jazz Control Postions

[Immigrant]

Fender factory specs also dictate that the nut on the output jack be positioned so that two of the sides are parallel to the pickups.

Of course, that goes without saying. Also, the pick guard screws should all be aligned with the polar axis....

You may also note my avatar... the tuners should all be aligned with the neck. Vey precise string length is the key...

Thing is with the Jazz and 2 volume pots; it's a bit annoying to have to turn both off when you want to rest the bass on a stand. Especially if like me you want full bridge volume and just a midgen of neck volume. I have a Jaco Jazz with Precision pots and so the only chance of seeing where the pot is, is from the grub screw.

Now if both grub screws are visible when the volume is full on, I cannot see the grub screw on the neck pot when it is in my ideal position.

Thus, I've just decided to line them up differently so I can see the grub screw on the neck volume pot when it's in the sweet spot (around 30%).

When I started this post I didn't realise I would come to this point!

I used to have a problem like this... then I got planetwave cord with a switch in the plug. Liked it so much, I got another one for a spare!
