when I turn down the bass boost, it cuts all the volume period. no sound. I can have my volume all the way up and it would still be silent.

Welcome to the forum!
That is strange! What model Jazz bass you have?
Check for loose wires inside the control cavity! or short circuited wires also!

It's a fender active jazz bass V.

It's really weird though.

going up, it's fine.

going down it's fine.

but when I try to cut the bass so I only get treble, it cuts the bass AND the volume.

Use this diagram to verify the wiring is connected properly.
