Which way should the blend knob turn?

[SharpCat]

Do it well enough... and no one will ever know it was changed!

(... which entails learning to do it so good that you can make it appear as poorly done as quite a few factories do it and call it "acceptable" these days.)

I think they'd catch a clue from the knob direction reversing.

I guess I meant if one had to return a bass to look as if it was never modified, having the skills to match what it looked like from the factory.
Enough to fool the inspector.

If you're keeping the bass, then just knowing how to solder better is always a good thing.
(FWIW, I haven't owned a bass with a warranty since... ever? So I do whatever I want inside these controls )

All my jazz basses have had volume volumev not volume blend.

Damn, am I stupid or what? Don't answer.

Have you never played a Fender Jazz bass? This is not a mystery.

Disregard this post. Don't know what I was thinking.

Been there, done that.

More than I like to recall.

Always #1 on every bass I have ever played in the last 50+ years.

CCW only if it's for a Left Handed bass

I think the overwhelming majority of basses have the blend wired so clockwise favors neck. Sadowsky's are a notable exception. But reality is, it's really easy to switch it if you have a little bit of soldering skill.
