spiderjazz Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just got an Ibanez SRX 500, and like a donkey just broke the volume pot while trying to tighten up the nut underneath, it's just spinning around now with no friction stopping it. Does anybody know where the best place would be for me to get a replacement pot? Does anybody know if I need to replace the actual knob as well, it looks like they're somehow connected. Thanks, Eamonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use their spares page to find the part number - [url="https://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/i-public/faces/Login00.jsp"]https://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/i-public/faces/Login00.jsp[/url] The knobs are pretty standard ones one the SR range - there's a little allen key grub screw on the side of the knob you need to slacken.

spiderjazz Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks man, that's perfect. I didn't realise that there was the little allen key thing on the pot, ended up ripping the shaft of the pot out!!! Think I might have a 500k pot at home from an Ibanez RG that I replaced the pickups in it with actives, will check to see if its the same type before ordering!
