tenniso Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 when my blender pot or tone pot are on 10, the sound goes away. should i move my lead to the other lug? should i move the lead on my tone pot as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marossy Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 You mean it gets progressively louder and then cuts out altogether? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 You didn't use "No-Load" tone pots, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenniso Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 You didn't use "No-Load" tone pots, did you? ← it doesn't seem to get louder then cut off. just cuts off. no, i dont think they are "no load". there wasn't any mention of it on the packaging. would this have caused the problem? i had actually been told to use "no load" pots so that when i wanted to use either the bridge or neck pickup alone, i wouldn't get any "bleed thru" from the other pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1guitarslinger Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 We would need to see a picture of wht you have or a wiring diagram to help sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoG Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I put a blender pot from Stew-Mac in my latest guitar. Is that what you have? If you have one with 6 lugs, it is possible to wire it wrong and get the result you describe - I did same thing the first time I hooked it all up. I think S-M has a diagram on their site which covers how it should go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
