Roto 88s on the fretlesses and Jack Casady . TI jazz flats on the Sire P5R and just changed the BB734 from Labella LTFs to Roto 77s tuned BEAD . A lot of difference in feel and tension but they all work with the basses they are on . -
Agreed . Return amp and refund postage . No other option IMO .

Not quite got the hang of that after 45years . Best I practice with a few more pints until I've nailed it . I love basschat for all these great ideas . 🍺

Yamaha everytime . You won't go wrong

Tim at East street music in Faversham is a star . Great fella to deal with .

It doesn't work for me . The perceived value is almost zero in my eyes .

The point I made was that all pots are equal electrically . There is , as you point out , a big difference in quality .
-
A pot is a pot . Normally log taper for volume and either log or linear for tone . And a cap is also just a cap . Electrically all pots are the same . Better quality such as CTS will be smoother and last longer .

My money is on them lying

Having witnessed the often reported appalling quality control of SBMM first hand , I think that its fair to say that if they are QC checking in the USA , which I am pretty sure they are not , then it is an absolute waste of time and money . I think you may have found the real reason that they say they QC in the USA .

That'll be one of the ones with janky tuners and non functioning truss rod . Apparently you pay extra for that .🤔

Thats OK . I hate them too . Poor QC . I have described them as musical firewood .

Just fixed an old Peavey PA up for a local bloke . They have 3/16 pot shafts and knobs are almost unobtainable . Used 1/4 knobs but applied a couple of small lengths of heatshrink to the 3/16 shaft . -
The 2 earths from the push/pull can go to any ground point . I would suggest that the back of one of the pots . On various semi permanent wiring jobs I have done , the back of the pots can get a little crowded so I have on occasion used a wago connector to link all the earths together and then run a single wire from there to the back of the pot .
