Grease Bucket Doesn't Work

[Guest]

My tone pots are not working for my grease bucket addition. Can you take a look?

It is wired like a Strat should be with the addition of the grease tone package...This is a Costco Strat with a genuine Fender 5-way switch...It is wired just like a Standard Strat with the grease bucket added. The volume works fine, but there is no change whatsoever in both tone pots.

Re: Grease Bucket Doesn't Work

It looks to me like you have some cold solder joints. The tone pots are most likely not working because they are not getting a solid connection to ground.

While you're under the hood, you might want to go ahead and replace the pots with full-size CTS pots. They are relatively inexpensive, and they work a LOT better that the stock Chinese crap.

a bit of electrical tape and you should be good
