glassmoon Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 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....

itu Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 200k - 1M. Logarithmic taper. The higher the resistance, the clearer the high end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Edited November 18, 2023 by sandy_r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 25K Linear sounds about right for an active bass, they're typical much lower value than passive instruments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 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).
