I am way worse than I think I am LOL, but I love to play!
Hey guys and gals,
I just picked up an RB850 and got say, love everything about it, except there seems to be very little variance across the tone, pickup and volume controls.
Yes, the first thing I did was put a fresh battery in it.
Is this how this Bass is (doubtful, my other Ibanez Basses aren't like this) a simple task of cleaning the pots or do I need new pots?
This is my first vintage buy, hence the question.
