Overhauling an RCE PJ Bass - Part 3

Part 3 - Electronics

Basically, being a PJ, this bass features a P-style neck pickup and a J-style bridge pickup. However, something is decidedly different, electronics-wise. Now, one would expect to find, as I did, two volumes and a master tone. Not on this bass. Both pickups are connected to one volume pot (master volume), which means both are always on, and there's no way to select either pickup on its own.

Both pickups are functioning normally despite being covered in corrosion, dust, and grime. No worries, though. A good clean and polish should do them a world of good. However, those corroded screws and springs will have to go. I'll most probably be replacing the screws and putting in high density foam in lieu of springs.
