Hi there, I'm trying to fix the volume knob connections for a yamaha CE bass that has only two knobs. I can't seem to find a wiring diagram for it anywhere and all I need to know is what wire to connect where. Can you help?
I have an older bass that I am trying to revive for my daughter and when I took it out to figure out why I was not getting anything but static, I found 2 wires loose so I am HOPING that the schematic shown works!!!I have an older bass that I am trying to revive for my daughter and when I took it out to figure out why I was not getting anything but static, I found 2 wires loose so I am HOPING that the schematic shown works!!!

To remove the knob, there should be a small hex key or allen screw on the side of the knob. Just loosen the screw. You don't have to remove it.
To tighten the nut properly, you may have to remove the back panel of the bass and hold the potentiometer from the other side. If allowed to turn too much, it could mess up the wiring.
It is NOT clear what you are trying to do... HOWEVER if you are attempting to extend a bass potentiometer remotely, you CANNOT use the four wire flat telephone line as it is unshielded and you will pick up hum.
resolder the three legs of the pots back down to the pcb. usually the treble feeds the bass, then from bass to mid then to ground. so if treble and mid are working its hard to imagine why the bass wouldnt be working. i would try to resolder, as you might have cold solder joints. keep it unplugged, pull off the knobs, open it up, remove the pcb screws and pull/flip out the pcb and resolder all of the pots.
