Bass-ic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Can anyone reccomend a component supplier as I am trying to find a retailer in or around the Bristol Area. Maplin don't do the right equipment and I have tried searching for a local supplier without much luck. I am trying to find a b500k pot and some copper cavity lining tape/material. Thanks for any responses in advance! Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You may be better off sourcing stuff online using Google, eBay, etc. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitar-potentiometer-pot-choice-A250k-B250K-A500B-B500K-24mm-dia-tone-volume-/390346202937?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&var=&hash=item5ae2725f39#ht_2572wt_847"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitar-potentiometer-pot-choice-A250k-B250K-A500B-B500K-24mm-dia-tone-volume-/390346202937?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&var=&hash=item5ae2725f39#ht_2572wt_847[/url] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GUITAR-SCREENING-COPPER-TAPE-100mm-x-1m-SHIELDING-PICKUP-CAVITY-CONDUCTIVE-ADHES-/290742528406?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item43b19ae996#ht_500wt_1092"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GUITAR-SCREENING-COPPER-TAPE-100mm-x-1m-SHIELDING-PICKUP-CAVITY-CONDUCTIVE-ADHES-/290742528406?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item43b19ae996#ht_500wt_1092[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Go online and have a look at CPC. I don't think there's ever been anything that i couldn't find on there. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] b500k pot - RS Components? copper cavity lining tape/material - "slug tape" from B&Q or other garden centres - yes really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The slug tape probably won't have conductive adhesive, so you'll need to solder across all the joins, but apart from that it's cheap and good (and normally even cheaper on eBay).

KevB Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 +1 for Axesrus. Been a while since I've done any home mods but when I did use them in the past they were always helpful and prompt in replying to emails. Tried their best to keep carriage costs as loww as possible too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Never thought about the adhesive needing to be conductive. Guess I was lucky. It made a mahoosive difference to my jazz as it liked to hum along very loudly to any tune I played ....now its silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
