Problem after potting

[Jazz P Bass]

*bites lip* my bad. I had told big_teee in a PM that I was mostly concerned as to what caused it to jump to mohm's. I assumed that if the wire had broken then I would get an Overload on the multimeter and no signal at all.

I think "O.L." on your DVM indicates OPEN-LOOP, another way of saying there isn't continuity.

Or it could indicate OVER-LIMIT.
ie: beyond the limits of the meter to register, such as "infinity" on a resistance scale.

I don't think it is a surprise that a coil might show a problem after the stress of heat cycling that will happen when potting. Things expand and move and a coil will have more stress applied during the potting process than any time before or after.
