Looking to replace a stacked tone / volume pot on my Aria SB.

I've looked on all the guitar part websites but I can find one anywhere. It's a 500k / 500k stacked pot with a split shaft.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

Some John East preamps have concentric pots with a split upper shaft. May be worth having a chat with John to see if he can point you in the direction of a supplier. (http://www.east-uk.com/)

I've had trouble sourcing these in the past. Solid shaft, fine. Split shaft non-concentric, fine. Split & concentric but 250k, fine. But 500k, split concentric... Nope.

I had to order from China off eBay, took 18 weeks to arrive and it was rubbish, so I wont recommend.

Can I suggest that you get one of the solid shaft CTS ones, and replace the knobs. not sure what ones you have but many are available as both split shaft and solid shaft type?

Or you could go for a facelift, replace all the pots and knobs with solid kind?
