Ran into an issue with my latest bit of upgrading- I installed a 500K Kill pot (kill switch and audio taper pot combined) but am having a devil of time making it work- right now, I'm getting massive noise when I try it out thru and amp. The tuner doesn't get a clear signal from it.
Questions: When soldering ground wires (bare and green) from both p'ups, is it a no-no to solder both to the same spot on the pot?
Since the Shadow brand killpots don't have metal bases, is it okay to solder to the metal sides of the pot instead? There are two(2) ground holes on the base but they're MUCH too small for the combined mass of the green and bare wires, let alone 2 sets of them.
