What pots to order?

[D.Don]

Hi,

I have a p-bass special 94 that I just bought from a tb:er that I am going to remove the active stuff in and replace with passive electronics.

As there's only 2 holes, and I dont want to drill, I will need concentric stacked pots. Would it make sense to have vol/tone for each of the two pups wired to each of the two pots?

My fretless peavey has it wired like that, but with 4 pots instead of stacked, and I pretty much like that.

So here's the million dollar question, as I am a bit inexperienced with what kind of pots used for volume vs. tone and such, for the concentric pots, what are the preferred one to get in a case like this?

EDIT: I have found so far that 250/250 K Ohm is proper for P/J wiring the way I want it, any other thoughts here, 500/500, 500/250 ?





Thanks!

I'd go 250K/250K for both, but possible 250K/500K for the J pup if you want a little more zing/edge for that one. Not sure what your would use as capacitors to go with each, but prob .047 if going 250/250.

Yeah, been looking all over here now and 250/250k seems like the deal. I dunno yet for the caps, I got a truckload of different ones that I ordered some time ago to save some shipping cost, so I guess I just have to go trial and error on that one..

Thanks!!
