Active Bass P/P volume Pot Help

[glassmoon]

Hi all

 

The push/pull volume pot on my Cort GB75JH (active) has gone south.

My assumption is that this is A250K pot - am I right?

So, not being the most techn savy person... what is a "decent" pot that won't break the bank, and where can I/should I buy one from?

My mate can do the solder work for me - it's not rocket science, but I just want to buy this only once

 

Many thanks in advance....

200k - 1M. Logarithmic taper. The higher the resistance, the clearer the high end.

This schematic appears to show 25K linear - if correct, then available from various sources (eB*y, Rev*rb, Mous*r, Digik*y, NorthWestGuit*rs, etc)

25K Linear sounds about right for an active bass, they're typical much lower value than passive instruments.

Yeah, pickups are basic hi-Z, balance is basic hi-Z. You can use higher values if you want. If the blend is "active", lower values are common and feasible. Here it's not. The lo-Z tone stack follows blend and vol (and here these pots act as hi cuts in the circuitry).

Thanks all. Really appreciate the feedback
