The difference in values will have a minimal effect. You can get 0.047 and 0.033 Sprague Orange Drop caps from Watford Valves.

mrcrow Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 yes 47 and 33 i dont think anyone really uses all of the cap facility..ie using 'a bit of cut' so they seem fine not being familiar with that pot layout i can see why the jazz is better with the separate caps and controls well done fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think I managed to cook the cap in my 79/80's P bass whilst trying to solder it back on so need to get a replacement. Would one of the Sprague ones mentioned above do the job? I had a look on evil bay and there is a guy selling 1uf orange caps on there, but their rating is like double the Sprague ones? I'm not really looking to change the tone at all. Advice always welcome Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
