I have a Fender Blacktop Jazz Bass and am having problems. Bridge pickup is very strong, neck pickup can only be heard if bridge pickup is completely off. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this particular bass? It is wired with yellow leads going to each individual volume pot, but both red leads are soldered to bridge pot, do not know if this is right. This wiring does not match standard jazz wiring diagram. Can't get any info from Fender on this, wondering if anyone else can give me any leads to help me solve this problem. I am desperately trying to figure this out without taking it in to repair shop. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

i would say Ignore the Colours and just follow it from the Pick up (one to earth and the other to Volume Pot) for each Pick up
then from the them two pots to the Tone control and then out
Earth Touching Each Pots case before ending up on the Earth side of the Jack socket

Make sure both volume pots are of the same value (250K). You can check with a volt ohm meter. I bought an analog one for $10. Of course, the digital ones are nicer but it's your choice.
