nottswarwick Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi Wonder if anyone can help. The bass pot on my SR4 is not turing as smoothly as it should. What can I use to lubricate it? Is it an easy job? Or will it need a new pot? Ideally I would like to do it myself to save a bit of cash - is there something i can just squirt into it?

Hamster Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 First port of call should be Servisol switch & contact cleaner, good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 cool. how much do I need to take it apart by - or can I just take the pot off and let some get in down the shaft....as it were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Just pop the control plate off and squirt it in any opening into the pot, twisting as you squirt to work the dirt/dead skin/bacon butty fat/dried beer etc out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I thinkit is a bit more serious, as the above is not improving things. I reckon the pot needs replacing, but can I just replace the bass pot, or do I need to replace the whole pre? Forgive me if this is a really stoopid question?

budget bassist Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 are you sure that the bottom of the knob isn't rubbing on the control plate like i suggested on the EBMM forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Don't know about you but I've always found that the tone knobs on the 3 eq MM's (I've had two 3 eq Rays and a Sterling) were never anywhere near as smooth as the 2eq ray I had.
