Where to source uncommon pots?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to do a passive to active conversion on a Warwick Streamer of mine, and would ideally like to do this without having to drill any additional holes. I like the look of the 3 knobs plus it makes it easier to revert to stock if I want to in future. I have a Darkglass Tone Capsule pre and I've worked out that to do what I want I will need:

- 1x stacked/concentric 500K (or 250K) audio (for pickup volumes)
- 1x stacked/concentric 50K linear, centre detent (for lo and hi mid)
- 1x 50K linear, centre detent, push/pull DPDT (for bass and active/passive)

I've been searching a few online stores using the sticky thread in this forum for parts suppliers. I've found plenty of examples of the first type but am struggling to find any of the others. Does anyone know of any stockists that might have these available, or are my requirements just too exotic and these parts don't exist?

I've found a couple of candidates for the 3rd one, but no idea if they are DPDT or SPDT switches:

Hmm, no centre detents on any of these according to the listings, the search continues...

This place has them! Made by Noble: http://www.bestbassgear.com/pots.htm

$18 a pop though!

EDIT: And ordered. Consider this thread closed!
