Well...I've been a bit vague here...that's what I get for doing this while
sick...but anyways...
The resistor goes from the left hand tab of the pot to ground. when replacing
this, run a wire from the left hand tab of the bass pot, to the middle tab of
the midrange pot. The left hand tab of the midrange pot should then be wired
to ground.
