Fender Mustang MIM PJ Wiring Diagram

[Ash Jazz]

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with a Fender Mustang MIM PJ. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for this bass? I would really appreciate it. To my amateur eyes, it looks like its wired correctly but I want to verify that's correct. The issue is the tone pot does nothing. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

It should basically match a standard P style diagram. Technically it has two pickups and a selector switch where this diagram shows just a P pickup, but if both pickups and your pickup selector works, then you can ignore that part of the diagram (effectively the P Pickup output in the linked diagram is the output from your pickup selector switch instead).

Unless I'm looking at it wrong, this doesn't seem to jive with what I have. Not saying I don't appreciate the diagram, I do. I think its wired right and all the connections seem to be solid so I'm guessing it is a pot issue. I am going to try to deoxit today and hope that helps. I noticed the pot does nothing until I hit 100% applied, then I hear a difference. Hopefully cleaning this pot will help. If not, I'll try replacing it.

I would probably just replace the harness to begin with. Fender MIM tone pot issues are pretty common (my MIM Ventera Mustang had it) and the parts are not particularly expensive.

Thanks, that sounds like solid advice. I appreciate it.

It was wired wrong. Here is a layout from Fender in case anybody else searches for it.
