It would appear that the pups need to be much closer to the strings than I have previously experienced ( 2.8mm is the PBass standard apparently )
The Sth pole of the HB is still not playing fair so a bit more investigation is required, I'm seeing the correct impedance and also seeing it change as expected through it's vol pot so somethings not quite right but it's now getting closer to the stage where I start setting the neck and bridge properly
nice one Dave so the output of the neck pup is pretty normal now ?
So is the humbucker being split by a push pull pot ? Sounds like there could be a problem with the pot or double check none of the solder joins are touching anything nearby the lugs

Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
I wish it was that simple, both poles have individual vol pots and when the impedance is measured at the pots and the output jack I get the expected results with the relevant pots moving through their range and I know I am seeing the individual poles because they have 0.02 of an ohm between them. ( decent meter and quite a few years playing with electricity )Originally Posted by wokkaboy
1. Turn the PB pup vol up and down and get the expected result.
2. Turn the Nth pole of the HB up and and down and get the expected result.
3. Turn the Sth pole of the HB up and get nothing
4. Bound PBass pup and Nth pole up and tone but not vol changes
5. Add Sth pole of HB pup and nothing changes
Very odd but we will get there in the end
