The series - parallel switches are very stiff/hard to move up and down. The switches do move but not smoothly. Was this caused due to the bass not getting any use? Anything I can do to fix the problem?

Thanks so much,

Not sure but stiff is good. Loose is warn. I would leave it alone and see if it gets better as you use it.
