Where to get the best quality components online?

Sign in to disble this ad
OK, I am going to rewire my passive bass. Currently 2 Aero type 1s in parallel Vol/Vol/Tone. I am going to rewire them with 1 concentric pot Vol/Tone for each pup and then a switch for parallel/series. To my understanding I need 2 concentric pots 250k/500k and 1 dpdt switch. I will also need 2 caps (I might as well replace both). I am looking to get the highest quality componants I can find. I would think that the capacitor would be the most important to have the highest quality.

I have soldered a bit before but this my first rewire job so I have never had to pick out the parts, where do I start looking? I have checked Allparts but are they the best quality?

I like these guys:

http://www.acmeguitarworks.com/
http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/

CTS pots, orange drop caps, cloth push back wire. Nice stuff.

Between those guys and Stew Mac, I'm pretty much covered.
