I'm thinking about rewiring my Jazz Bass, and I'm wondering if 500k pots would work better with the stacked set (Not Duncans, sorry :laugh2: ) I'm currently using. Right now, I'm running the pickups in series, but that might change soon (how can I maximize the growl?). Also, I'd like to change the wiring scheme to either a Vol/Tone/Tone layout or Vol/Tone/Switch (either to select pickups or to switch between series/parallel). With the wiring setup I'm currently using, the tone control is pretty useless (there's no taper, really; just "off" and "on"). I've heard this might be because of the traditional (note: not original) wiring scheme loading the pickups.
On a slightly related note, I've had issues with my bass neck ever since I got it. It seems as if the neck is bowed, but the relief is perfect. Because of this, I have to set the action extremely high (almost 1/2 an inch off the board!). Do I need to shim the neck? How would I do that?
