I have no electronic knowledge, and I need your help

[alexwittscheck]

I have a quick question and I figured that this would be the best place to post it. I play a Fender Deluxe Active P Bass Special. Anyway, long story short, I have broken the off the connecters on the mids pot. Don't ask how... Haha. Anyway, I got the schematic from Fender and it lists the part as Control 100kb CNTR DTNL CTS and the Fender part number is 0049443000. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out how and where to get a replacement pot? Do I have to have one from Fender, or can I get this from anybody who sells Pots? I have the skills to solder it myself, but I need the pot. Thanks for your help.

Equivalent pots are available at any electronics supply place. CTS brand pots are available mostly at guitar-parts stores (which there are plenty online).
100K is the value
B means linear taper
CNTR DTNL probably means "center detent", which is a little bump that it stops at halfway.
CTS is a brand of pots.

You, sir, are awesome. That was everything I needed to know.
