[QUOTE="the_taste_of_cigarettes:1054325"]That top knob has some weird shit going on. You're probably best starting from scratch, but it looks like all though wires to the chassis of the pot are just grounds. You'd never hook up anything that actually was used for important signal that way. The pots tend to read, looking at the back from left to right, in - out - ground. Essentially what the pot does is it takes a signal from the left little stub, and as you turn the knob it dumps the signal from 100% to the 2nd stub and 0% to the third stub, to 0% to the second stub and 100% at the 3rd stub. Think of it like a dimmer switch, cause that's what a dimmer switch is. Pickups tend to have different wires for different things, but they all basically have a lead and a ground and those are the two most important ones. Pickups do not take in a signal, but rather the strings over the poles "create" a signal that transfers down one wire called the "hot" or "lead". That lead goes to the left part of the pot, and then can come out from the 3rd stub or 2nd stub, whichever you prefer, to the TIP of the jack. The tip is that thing that's like a little knub. It touches the tip of your 1/4" instrument cable. Tone knobs are stupid, and actually may be a bit complex for you at the moment. They tend to not be so straightforward as a tone knob only ATTENUATES THE HIGH FREQUENCIES. It adds NOTHING to the signal. They are relatively pointless and often you would need to solder in some other components like a resistor or a capacitor to help adjust how much comes off and how. Not worth it, I take mine out most of the time. Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]
