I'll have to take a closer look following this written schematic, I believe these Foundations are from'94 only, if that helps?

overwhelming Noise 1994 Peavy Foundation Bridge Pickup

Can the red wire going from the center pot be taken to the far right output pot-by the white wire?
And if so, what would that mean? 'cause, I see no red wire going to the output pot from the center pot, do you?
If that's a V-V-T circuit, like a Jazz Bass, then you should be able to use this diagram to trace the connections. From Seymour Duncan's website...
As you can see, the HOT wire from each pickup (in this case, white) goes to the center lug of each pot, the black (ground) goes to the case of each volume pot. I believe that one of your pickups is wired to it's volume pot incorrectly, and the red and black wires need to be switched.
Try it... if that ain't it, switch it back, lol!

Huh, I see what you saying. The middle pot, to which I'm having trouble with (corresponding bridge p/u. It also has a b 250 on it) does indeed go to the center lug. But I can't solder both negative and Positive to the top of the pot, right?
So what do u suggest besides the firewood option?
No.
Just TRY switching the red and black wires.
If that doesn't fix it, get a second opinion over in the "Pickups and Electronics" forum.

Got it! so you're simply saying switch the red and the black on the center pot to end up the same on the left pot.
Yeah. Both the pickups' wires going to each of their respective volume pots should be wired the same way.
Sorry James the time zone difference meant I was sleeping when you got photos up. Mr O'B has the right of it,swap the wires on the middle pot to match the one on the right.
Many Thanks to all! I hope I can be as helpful to others as you all have been during this thread.
