Hello all,
I just received my Highway One Precision from an on-line retailer and I cannot hear my bass unless I turn my amp up to 10. I have a puny little Washburn 30 W amp but my 51 P-Bass-style Turser can shake the walls thru it. what gives here? I have the knobs set and I am stumped as to why this beauty won't thump! Could it be defective? Sounds like they should have caught that in inspection.

Strings to high, pups too low? Set screw on the volume pot not tight, so when you turn the knob, the knob just spins and the shaft doesn't turn? Bad volume pot?

Those are the only things I can think of...the pups should be good.

thanks for your reply but everything is factory set just fine. I am beginning to think its a bad pot and needs to be returned. Maybe I will exchange it for a sunburst Mike Dirnt

Could be a bad pot, if it's brand new then it should be under warranty. (given that you purchased it new from an authorized dealer.) Take it to your nearest authorized service center with your receipt of purchase. They should check it out, and if the pot is defective, I believe it's covered and will be replaced.

I, too, just bought a Highway One, in Honey Blonde, from the local GC. Luckily I have found no problems to report. All it needed was a quick set-up and it plays smooth. That is really a drag to order something and have problems with it once you receive it. Hope your issue get resolved quickly so that you can enjoy your purchase.

Thank you for the kind thoughts. I am returning it for a Sting SCPB Hopefully this will be a better purchase
