My M-85 now has a bridge I can intonate. And since the magnificent JS-II is in the shop getting all filtered up, sorta like Jack & Phil did way back then, I am using the M-85 a lot.
So, why am I noticing a HUGE drop-off in volume when I have the switch on for both pickups? With the switch on for one or the other, the bass sounds great. But when it's in the middle position, it only puts out the sound of whatever pickup volume is maxed. Is neither is maxed, the volume drops to something like 25% of a single pickup. Way different than on the JS-II where I could set the neck pickup volume and then move the bridge pup volume up & down to modify the sound on the fly.
I don't recall this before I sent it in to have the smasheroo repaired, but then, I never played it a whole lot before that. I recall the seller said that he had replaced all of the wiring. I wonder if something went amiss then? It's the hollow version, so I don't imagine it's a fun project to check out the wiring.
Any suggestions, tips etc would be most welcome.
(PS there is no suck switch)
