Hey,
I got a 2009 schecter C1 classic (duncan JB-bridge, Jazz-neck) and I noticed the volume knob just responded badly. From 0 to around 4 there was a weak unusable tone, after 4 a sudden burst of volume that pretty much didn't change all the way up to 10. Very different from other guitars I've played where you can go through a good range of softer to louder usable tones just by riding the volume knob, not to mention the inability to pull a decent volume swell. A friend suggested that maybe it was a bad pot and to try swapping it out, so I installed a dimarzio (non linear) pot and unfortunately nothing changed in the dynamics department. I don't know what stock pot was in there but I know the dimarzio one is supposed to be decent.
So my question is could other components in the guitar be contributing to the problem? Do I need to swap out the tone pot too? capacitors? I'm pretty clueless about guitar electronics. There has be a solution for it, hasn't there?
Thanx.
