Just finished a gig and during the gig my guitar would loose volume and treble for no apparent reason. When i tapped the volume knob it would come back to normal but this problem occured frequently during the gig. I would be grateful for advice on how to solve this problem.Thanks!

It could be alot of things dirty pot,bad pot or sound man messing with you... Kidding. I would clean your pots first and see what happens.

Not all volume pots have caps and resisters but if your does the chances of them being bad is slim but it's possible. You will need a multi meter to check their continuity.
