[quote="Sheldon Dingwall":13lg6852]Hi Bob,
That's a new one. I've never heard of a pot doing that but it's a mechanical component so could be wearing out. Diagnosing things like this require pushing and pulling on components, tapping everything in sight to see if it's a simpathetic vibration.
If you do trace it down to the pot, you'll need to contact Bartolini or bestbassgear.com for replacement. It would be a custom Bartolini pot.[/quote:13lg6852]
Hi Sheldon,
Thank you for your response. I know, this is wierd. When I tug and pull on that pot it makes this rather harsh and loud noise, like when a connection is being made and broken. Sometimes the sound will occur without touching anything though. I will replace the jack first and go from there. If the noise continues, I'll contact Bartolini and see if they have any idea what they did for that pot 20 years ago! LoL! This is what I get for buying vintage!

BUT, as I said, I really love this bass! So NBD!
