P bass wiring question

I have a nice parts P bass that had a Raven Labs PBR-1 preamp in it. The PBR-1 sounded great but it was cutting in and out causing sudden changes in volume. Despite my lack of soldering skills, I decided I'd try to install standard CTS 250K pots and a new jack. I wired it like this.



I compared the configuration to another P style bass I have and it looks the same to me.

However, when I plug in the one I wired both pots function like tone pots and neither works as a volume control.

Does anyone know what I might have done wrong?

your white wire should go to the center lug of the volume pot.  Tip of jack to either lug that green is attached to.

Excellent. Thank you. I'll go give that a try.
