Need a bit of help guys.
Just bagged an Ibanez Sa160QM on evil-bay for a bargain price. It was pretty filthy - but has cleaned up a treat, but I have discovered an electrical issue.
Basically it's not loud enough - in order to get any kind of usuable sound out I have to crank the amp to eleven and beyond (nothing wrong with that - but I'm not getting the teeth shattering volume 11 and beyond should bring).
It's the same accross all pickup selections, but seems worse on in betweens (could just be imagining that). So unless all three p/ups are shot I'm assuming it's something in the wiring - ie pots, jack,switch or capacitor (there aint much else there).
I figured that I'd just replace it all, but before I dived in I thought Id get some second opinions - primarily to see if anyone can suggest a good starting point.
So any ideas welcome on that (I hate soldering, so anything that I can do to avoid it or reduce it is really welcome).
