Hello all! I have a very serious question that I need help with as soon as possible!!

Recently, I traded my Streamer LX (for a Thumb). Well, the new owner checked the manual on the configuration of the preamp and it turns out the controls are switched around! Here is part of his message about the issue:

"The bass control is the only one in the right spot, but the pup pan is where the volume should be, the treble where the pan should be, and the volume where the treble should be. Did you move these pots around? If so, might I inquire as to why? It's nothing major or something I can't get used to, I'm just curious. Oh yeah, and the pickup pan is backwards. When I turn towards the neck, the bridge pickup is soloed, and when I turn to the bridge, the neck pickup is soloed. Again, just curious. Didn't know if you rewired this or someone else did or what. Please let me know."

The previous owner of the bass (before me) told me the bass was bone stock and I assumed it was as well. I'm kicking myself for not noticing this in the past and now need to make this right for the new owner. Could anyone offer me advice on this?

Here is a picture of the preamp:
 
Can the pots just be moved around, into their correct positions?
That seems to me, to be the easiest solution.
The pickup pan sounds interesting, maybe it's a left handed pot.

I'll reply here instead of the PM.

I can say this as the previous owner before you, I had no idea. On each bass I get I usually just play with the knobs until I figure out what each one does. I've never bothered to check a manual to see if they were in the right place. Either way it sounds like everything works... I don't see what the big deal is honestly. I bought the bass off ebay, so there's no telling what the previous owner before ME did with it.

Well, I never really said it was a huge deal, but it IS important to me to figure out what's going on for the sake of the new owner. I take alot of pride in my reputation and although the layout never bothered me (I didn't know it was off) and the new owner said it didn't really bother him, I would still like to put the effort towards finding out what is going on and why the pots are switched.
 
i have switch pots on my bass before to set up what i liked.as long as everything works it should be all good.
