Hello to all of you,

i have recently purchased a Squier Jazz VM electric bass; after i've done a careful set-up of the instrument, i can say i'm very satisfied with my purchase...

However, there is a detail that i cannot fully understand: even if i fully lower down the volume of both pick-ups, i can still hear sound comind from my amp (Rumble 25) although very weak... I can not understand if it is a defect of the electrical part or a "feature" of the bass itself (read: cheap electronic, bad soldering etc...)

Can you please give me a hand to understand why and, eventually, how to fix it ?

Thank you very much in advance

New bass ? Return to the store .

Might be defective / cheap volume pots ? Your Bass use 500k pot if I have the right diagram . America made bass use 250 K ??????

Hi stratele52 and thank you very much for your help ;-)

I think it was a dirty contact on one of the two potentiometers, I used a spray to clean the contacts (G-20) and now everything seems to work the best ...

Thanks again, though, for your information, the electric bass is new, but not the only store where I bought it would not have another one available, but I really like this bass as I have set it up ... ;-)
