Tone knob sometimes changes with the volume knob

[Vevy]

what does it mean? and is that a problem?


in the sense that for example when I turn the tone knob, instead of change the tone, the volume change..or vice versa. But it happens very few times (in a year it happened something like 3-4 times..)

Are you saying that when you adjust the tone knob it changes the volume but not the tone?
What type of bass is it?

Are you sure you're turning the tone knob and not the volume knob by mistake?

I know what's happening.

If you got one of those Fender P-bass VRs this happens consistantly! The Very Rare Fender P-bass has a special connection between the volume and tone control.

It's not hidden in the control cavity. It may resemble a short rubber band stretched around the volume knob and the tone knob. Don't be fooled! It actually is a short rubber band stretched between the volume knob and tone knob.

If you remove it carefully your bass will, in that particular, look and behave like every other P-bass in the world. Be sure to save this valuable option as it separates yours from the masses. It will bring increased resale value in years to come.
