Volume/Tone-pots with levels ("clicks") ??

Hi!

I'm wondering where I can find volume/tone-pots that have "clickable" levels (meaning 10 or more clicks/indents from zero to full volume)?

I want this for my Jazz so I can adjust pickup settings and if I accidentally adjust the knobs, then I can readjust to the exact position(s) I had by remebering how many "clicks" it was from the maximum (or minimum) position.

And by the way: What are pots like this called?

regards
Magnus

I'd search for "detent potentiometer."

I had a AV 62 reissue jazz bass with the stacknob controls. They had detents at the base of the knob that worked just like that. pretty cool.......... I'm not sure if they come like that from the factory though?

Thanks for the replies!

quote from partspage linked above:

"Requires detant washer if you want it to have click stops like original. Detant washer is part # 19504, $4.50
SKU: 19503"

So it's the washers that do it?

Mrdak (or somebody else): Is it "click levels"/detents one the volume or tone-pots or on all four pots on the AV62 Jazz?
