NancyJohnson Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Just out of curiosity are the pots the same ones that were on my NR that I sent you? You know all about my woes there. Maybe they were just cock. Quote

[/quote] They are the ones you sent me, nothing wrong with their values, it's the taper that's wrong for (Gibson) tone controls so all their action is concentrated at the end. Quote
neepheid Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Small update and hopefully the end. I rewired the tone/mid controls with log taper pots. Big whoop, you can't see that. But you can see the (somewhat amateurly) restored Mallory 374 dial plate which now sits under the transfer switch... A very kind soul on the Gibson forum sent me one which was a little scuffed and scraped so I masked the numbers and tidied it up. Too scared to make it 100% smooth across the numbers for fear of sanding/polishing too deep, but not noticeable at a distance. Quote
PlungerModerno Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Nice work, I'd say the more usable tapers will make it a lot more fun to dial in the various tones the bass is capable of. Quote
