prowla Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Well, I had a push-pull pot for a Shaftesbury Ric copy I'm doing up, but it turns out it's too tall to fit. Can anybody point me at where to get a Ric 330k pot with the SPST push-pull switch, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Try rickysounds.co.uk if he is still operating. I got the classic tone push pull pot from him. Edited September 30, 2017 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Thanks - his ones are not the Ric ones and are 500k. Also, they have the terminals on the bottom and the guitar has a shielded control bay. The real Ric ones are 330k and like two stacked pots (with the upper one being a simple SPST switch). (I have ordered a cheap Chinese one on a punt that it might fit, but I think it'll be too tall also.)

prowla Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) They're $9.50 in the US from Pick of the Ricks, but shipping adds another $15.50, which comes out at £18.60. But that takes it over the £15 threshold, so if it's stopped by customs there'll be Import Duty and VAT added, adding about £4. And the mail service will add a £8 service fee. So totalling £30 for a piddly $9.50 unit. (Getting two reduces the per-shipping price, but that definitely takes it over the customs limit.)

prowla Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 OK - I found a UK supplier at £19, which is pricey, but less of a faff. (There'll probably be loads of them on offer for less somewhere next week!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Ok. I know the one he fitted to my 4003 bass fitted fine and works how it should. By pure chance his place was a fairly short drive from me so he offered to fit it for a few quid extra while i nipped off for a coffee.
