The Volume pot has ceased to function as a volume pot but has rendered itself full on, YEAA!! This is on my Distillate. Any suggestions?? Thanx in advance.   Bear

Play loud!
 
Sorry couldn't resist.  
How old is your Distillate Bear? Mine is an 84 and the pots are good but I am on my 3rd pickup selector switch, fortunatley everytime it has snapped off it has been in an 'on' postition.

Good one!!! It's An 89 5-string. I mostly play the bridge pu so im not messing with the selector switch much , but the knob falls off every now and then and i never can find the .050 allen key when i need it. It(the bass) used to reside in Jersey w/ Danno, and I seem to recall him saying it got refurbished @ the mothership. So Who knows how old the pots are.....
