UK Source for 250k long shaft pots?

[Delberthot]

I'm planning an overhaul of the wiring on my gold bass at the beginning of the year.

It curently has 500k long shaft pots which are very easy to get as that is what Les Paul's use.

Since I have a single coil pickup, I wanted to change this for the more conventional 250k pots. The bass is rear routed so I need long shaft pots but cannot find any.

I've searched the sticky at the top and have found that Basspartsresource do them but since the exchange rate isn't too good, I thought I'd see if any UK companies are doing them. I can't find anything so i thought I'd ask here.

Also, does anyone know where I could have a wiring harness to my own specification done? I have conceded the fact that I cannot solder and would prefer to have someone else do this for me. If there are any basschatters who are good with a soldering iron and live fairly close, I would be happy to come to you to have it done as I'd rather have it done properly.

Should've gone to Specavers - still can't see them on the axes-r-us website though
