karlthebassist Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 evenin chaps got a MIM P bass, loaded with Badass II bridge and the P pup from an APJ-1 BassLines ProActive set. I want to pop the J pup in on monday or tuesday, but will need another pot for the vol control. What I DONT want to do is add an extra one - i.e. a third pot, cuz that just looks terrible IMO. I would idealy like a stacked pot. I'm using 100K audio taper pots at the moment with a paper film cap for the tone control. Does anybody know where I can order a stacked pot (100K/100K), another standard 100K pot for the tone control and, crucially, a set of matching chrome barrel knobs?

Hamster Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Why 100k? - hard to find and a bit of a dark tone unless you're running an active bass. Then again, if you're running an active bass, 25k is more usual. If you want a warm tone on a passive go for 250/250 or 500/500 for brighter. I run a 500/500 stacked pot on my P and it sounds warm enough for me. Have a look at www.axesrus.com for bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pots are what came with my pickup set. I'll have a look on axesrus.com cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
