SH73 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I am replacing the pups on my Matt Freeman bass with Seymour Duncan SPB-4 pups . I`ve been looking at CTS pots on Thomanm site for better quality pots. There are three different CTS 250 k pots. Confused which one to get. Can anyone please assist?

Muppet Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 No knowing which ones you are specifically looking at, I can only assume the variations are either due to them being linear v audio taper or different shaft types (solid, threaded, split) Assuming the knobs are standard Precision bass ones I'd use these ones assuming these aren't fitted as standard to begin with [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_250k_controlsolid_shaft.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_250k_controlsolid_shaft.htm[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I need a split shaft https://m.thomann.de/gb/fender_poti_250.htm?o=0&ref=mal_a_0&search=1444724652 Or this https://m.thomann.de/gb/fender_volumepoti_250_no_load.htm?o=3&ref=mmc_a_3&search=1444724756 Getting them for SPB-4 sd pups. I presume I need tge first version for volume and tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I would go the first one for both tone and volume if you're using push on knobs. The second one is often fitted to Strats IIRC as a tone knob. It has a slight notch at the end of its turn to bypass the tone circuit. I don't know of it being fitted to basses but it may well have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
