I have a US P Deluxe and I keep having a recurring crackling and popping mostly from my Mid-range knob, sometimes from the input which wreaks havoc with sound men. I've had it fixed once, but it seems like it's back again. Anyone else with this? Anyone with a permanant fix?

WD 40 spray works for me.

Mitch, I'll give it a shot.
I'm hoping it's not more than that.
Thanks

Let me suggest instead of WD-40 that you get a good contact cleaner (at Home Depot or any good electronics store) and spray down into all the pots really good. That should fix the problem without the gunk build up that over time you'll get with a product like WD-40.

Thanks. took the knobs off, and the pick guard, hoping not to mess things up even more. I bought some contact cleaner from Radio Shack and sprayed the pots & contacts. It worked great. Thanks!
